it is you who has all the rights to the property along with your step sisters and your step mother has no right in the property. you may file a petition for succession and nomination is not a hindrance to it. once you file a petition for succession, seek stay against the authorities to not to act upon nomination.
The nominee is nothing but a custodian so don't worry you may get your proper share
