If the mother has bought a house in her name from the money given or taken from her husband or selling the property of her husband , in all eventualities she is the absolute owner of the new property . The daughter could have challenged at that time of selling fathers property ,she can challenge the same now as well but chances are bleak to win the case.
yes, the daughter has an equal right in the property of her parents, in case the property is self acquired and the parents died without making a will. in case it is an ancestral property, then also the daughters have an equal right.
