Dear Sudha,
Your father's Will will prevail and each son and daughter is entitled to 1/5th share of your father's land irrespective whether your father acquired it ancestrally or through his own income, provided the title of the land was in your father's name. Of course, you have every right to obtain a Probate on the Will in Court.
