Quick Summary

When a person passes away without a valid will, their property is divided equally among their legal heirs. In this case, the deceased's mother, son, and daughter are all entitled to an equal share of both self-acquired and inherited property. To formalise the inheritance, legal heirs must obtain a legal heirship certificate from the court before transferring the property into their names.

Hello,

After passing of your father you, your mother and sister will be legal heirs of your father. Property will be divided equally between all of you. Your mother is also entitle for equal share as of you both. You have to get legal heirship from court. Thereafter you can transfer property in your name.
