Daughter's rights on Father's property after marriage

My mother is married in 1981. My father expired in 1994. Now, my mother 's family is dividing their property and conveyed my mother that she will not be getting any share in the land, house and other properties of my grand father (ancestral property, not self acquired. Grand Father expired in 2001). Does my mother not have any right on her father's property. If she has, how should she claim it.

Ancestral property means, any property that passes undivided down up to four generations of male lineage. The property is your grandfather’s property. So in which generation now is dividing? As per me, under Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act 2005, daughters are entitled to a share in the property along with their male siblings.

@ Satyanarayana sir, it's almost 5th generation... no one knows or remembers how that property was acquired decades ago .. and the house was built in 1972 by my grand father...
