My father got divorced from my mother in the year 2000.and he have four children from first wife two daughters and two son including me.He had inherited tenancy rights on two property situated in mumbai from his father and adopted father for which I had filed suit for share in the ancestral property in the year 2000 and said case was not persuaded by both my father and me ( he requested me not to persuade the case) due to which the case was disposed otherwise since both of us not attended the case after initially 1.5 years.
Thereafter he sold his tenancy rights without my consent and shifted to Bangalore and remarried other lady( Stepmother) in the year 2001 and he got one son from her. Now the issue is he had purchased land on stepmother's name and constructed 2 storey building on it. my Stepmother died(Without any Will) in 2013 leaving behind Her Minor Son and my father and after two years my father also passed away in the year 2016( he was continuously in touch with me and Before dyeing he contacted me for distribution of property among 5 of us including stepbrother but before he write any will he died).
Here i want to know if me and my siblings file suit for equal share in property which stands in the name of my Stepmother(Bought by my father in her name).

Have you any proof that the house purchased by your stepmother with the earnings of your father? as she died, you have right only for your father's share only. i.e. that property be divided into two parts, one part is to her son and another part is to your father. your father's share shall be divided to all legal heirs(including your stepmother' son) equally .
