Mr.abishek, If that property is your father's self acquired property mean he can arrange will in favour of any one. Like that if made a will in favour to your step mother mean she is the owner of the property. After your father's demise she can do whatever as her wish. No one can stop her.

On the other hand if that property is your ancestral property mean as a co sharer he is not entitled to made a will regards the entire property.. So you can challenge either the will or gift.

Repeated query. If the will clearly mentions that she can dispose OR distribute among children, you cannot do anything. Even for stay you will have to justify why she should not act according to the provisions of the will.

If will provides that property can be either divided or distributed among the children, it is one type of life interest on grand mother. She can not gift to third party. I do not agree with Shri Dingaraji with due respect.
