did your father execute a will in favour of your mother? if not, then who can she execute a will. after your father s death, your mother and all you brothers and sisters are having equal right. she can execute the will only of her own share. you may challenge the will in case she did not get property through a will executed by your father and also file the partition suit and seek injunction against the property so that it cannot be sold to third party. you can also claim the rental income.
