When did your father remarry, which year. If he married prior to bigamy - act coming in to force, both marriage would be valid. It is assumed that your father married after the Act came in to force, in that event, the property will be divided in to three equal parts, each of the brothers get one share and 1st wife gets one share. Out of the share of your deceased brother, you and your mother get one equal share.
