Neither you, your sister, yor step mother nor her children have any rights in your father's self acquired/inherited properties during his lifetime.

Your father can settle his properties to anyone of his choice during his lifetime in which nobody can question his authority.

If you are minor by age and your sister is unmarried, you both can seek maintenance from your father.
