1. Challenge the will.

Please be more specific, you say father died intestate, how can the mother get the property?

 the will  can be challenged, as father died intestate, and the mother has no right over the whole of the property.

Dear Amit,

your mother can write a will a of her share in the property .i:e 1/4th of her share not whole property of  your fathers.

I am right Ms Suchitra or wrong pl let me Know.

After the death of father, his self earned property has to be divided among the legal heirs of first class. i.e., wife and children equally. S, 1/4th share to each.
