Self acquired property can not be claimed. It depends only on the will of Father. It can be changed only by him.

You can claim his money left in his account or PPF. However you can claim your share from from the prperty left by your mother and in any other property which your father did acquire through inheritance.
Now if that Will contain such proprties where you have your share then you can challenge the Will at the time of its Probate or you can file a suit for partition as well.

If the property is self acquired by father, then daughter will not get as to the Will executed by father.
In case of ancestral, daughter will get her share in ancestral property alone.
In any case daughter cannot claim share in PF and bank balance of father
