   My father has recently expired in June 2008 and we reside in chennai, tamil nadu. My mother is owning the property in her name since 1970 and my father purchased this property in her name. We are two brothers and two sisters(two sons and two daughters). My father did not leave any will but, he has indicated his intention to myself and my brother (of course to my mother also) as per which, he wanted to give this property which is in my mother's name to both myself and my brother only. But he told that, both brothers i.e. my self and my brother each to pay an 'X' amount to our sisters i.e. i pay to my elder sister and my brother to pay to my younger sister. However, though we discussed, he died before writing this will and bother our sisters are not aware of my father's intentions. Under these circumstances, i have the following questions?
   
   1. Whether my mother can write a will now and bequeath the property to me and my brother and implement my father's intention?
   2. If such will is made, is it valid and enforceable especially since though the property is owned by my mother, it was paid by my father and purchased by my father in her name.
   3. Will my sisters be able to contest the will and demand equal share?
   
   Kindly clarify.

   Aren't your two sisters born from the same womb as you two brothers from same parents? so are they not entitled, if not for an equal share but at least 25% of the total value each if married. That's what even your father would have done owing his responsibilities.I suggest do what your father would have.
