Property right of daughters
Both my in laws has passed away. Now there are 4 daughters and one son. My father in law has a house which is currently occupied by his son. All the daughters are married and do not live in the same house.Only the son's family lives in the house.

If your father-in-law did not leave any will or settlement deed then all his children qualify to get an equal share in his property unless any one of his children can prove that the property was purchased/augmented by his/her monetary contribution.
Since the son alone is occupying the property the daughters of your father-in-law can file a case for property division in the court to cull out their share in the property.
