Two wife first died with children

My father died last year. Before his death he made a WILL.
We are Sunny Muslim.
 
Two wife and each wife has 2 children.
First wife is my mother she died when we were minor. (myself and my sister).
 
The house was purchased by my grand father and after his death my father became the owner. Now my step mother.
 
In his will he mentions that it is self owned house, and he has not disclosed the first wife and her children. 
 
Through the will He gave the house to my step mother (second wife) and her children.
Is the will invalid and do we have right in the house.
 

Pls. guide us What should we do?

Mohammaden law makes no difference between ancestral property and self acquired property. 

Hence the property inherited by the father is treated as self acquired property and he has full rights to dispose of the property in  a manner he likes

Hope i made it clear. Anyway you better take the advice of a lawyer in person. 

So the 2nd wife and her children are entitled to the property without any doubt.

Good luck

Thanks Javid Nazeem, I am not satisfied with your answer ...

We have proof that the house was purchased by your grandfather. After my grandfathers death father himself transferred the house in his name. and my father had knowingly written wrong statement. that the house was purchased by him and he has one wife.

He had two wife and he has mentioned only one wife and her children.
