1. There is no concept of ancestral or self acquired proeprty of a female.

2. in other words on death of the female her proeprty irrespective of its nature gets equally divided among all her sons and daughters/

3. So you being the married daughter ahs equal right of inheritance along with your brothers and sisters, if any.

4. if your siblings refuses to part with your due share you can file suit for partition to claim your sahre and injunction.

1. The married daughter of the deceased mother is a legal heir to the deceased mother hence she has a right to claim her share out of her mother's property. Her mother's share of ancestral property shall be her mother's own property in which, if she had died intestate, then her own legal heirs are entitled to a legitimate share as a right.

2. The above answers suits to this too in respect of her deceased father's share in his possession at the time of his intestate death.

3. The supreme court decision is not applicable to the above position of law.

4. The daughter can claim a share in her deceased mother's share of property alone if she has died intestate in the capacity of legal heir to the deceased mother.

They are entitled to a rightful share.

You may consult a local advocate with the relevant papers or documetns and get a personal opinion on this situation.
