Re: property succession
your step brothers and sisters along with you and your brothers,sisters are all the legal heirs and have equal right/share in the flat of your father.
Re: property succession
if there is nothing to the contrary then children of ur step mom will also get the share in the property, no matter in whose name it is
there may be chance that if ur fahter's money is not involved in it then u may object its share to them but otherwise it seems improbable.
Re: property succession
if the flat belongs to your father then all of you will have equal share
