Daughter has equal share in case of self acquired property of father.

Daughter has equal share in case of ancestral property of father also, subject to conditions as noted by you.

Self acquired property can be disosed off according to the wishes of the owner. If he writes a valid will bequeathing a property to a particular person barring other legal heirs, like daughter, the property goes to the beneficiary of the will and not otherwise. If he does not write a will, then the property will be distributed according to Hindu Succession Act giving equal shares to sons and daughters, wife and mother.
