the first point is of will. whether the will is genuine or fake. in case the will is genuine, you may have a right in case the property delved upon your mother after your father s death, without a will. in case you father did not make a will in your mother s name, you have an equal right in the property and can claim the share. you may file a suit for partition of the property on the strength of your right as a daughter and seek stay against the property. you may contact a lawyer in this regard and you may not have to travel to india to prosecute the case as the same can be done through an attorney.
