as your father died intestate, you have also a share in the property. ask your mother and brother in amicable way to allot share in the property. otherwise consult a local lawyer.

It is believed that you are Hindu.
Married daughter would also count for a share in the event of further partition or death on or after December 25, 2004........as the central amendment will have to be given effect.
Prior to it the State law would be the ruling law on the date of succession.
The father has died in (date not given) 1997 thus the succession has opened in 1997.
You were married in 1998 thus were unmarried on the date succession has opened......
Succession is occasioned for properties of Hindu Undivided Families when there is a partition in the family or when a male coparcener dies leaving daughters.
If such event had occurred in Karnataka after July 30, 1994, but before December 20, 2004, the benefit of enlargement of right will not be available for those who were married as on July 30, 1994........
Since you are in Karnataka you should check with a local lawyer well versed with state laws...................and the lawyer well versed in such laws can advise you the best.
Valuable advise of learned experts is sought.

You are entitled for 1/4th share in your father's self acquired intestate properties as well as you are entitled to an equal share in the mense profits in the business revenue augmented by your fathers firm. You may issue legal notice for partition and share in the profits of the firm, if it fails to invoke any response, you may proceed legally.
