If the property belonged to your father and his will is authentic and legal then the will shall be enforcement by the siblings including you. Therefore if the details of the properties have been mentioned act accordingly.

Your rights will depend entirely on the validity and contents of your father’s Will and the ownership status of the property.

If the house was self-acquired property of your father and he has clearly bequeathed one house to you through a valid Will, then after his death, the property will devolve as per that Will. In such a case, your siblings cannot ask you to vacate once your right crystallizes, subject to the terms of the Will.

However, since you have stated that the Will provides that the property will come to you after your mother’s lifetime, it appears your mother has a life interest (right to reside/use during her lifetime). After her death, absolute ownership should pass to you. During her lifetime, she cannot ordinarily override your father’s Will with respect to his property, unless the property was jointly owned or she had independent ownership rights.

Your mother cannot override your father’s Will by making her own Will in respect of property that exclusively belonged to your father. She can only make a Will for property that is legally in her own name or share.

Your siblings also cannot claim a share in that house if:

  • The Will is valid, and

  • The property was your father’s self-acquired property

However, since you do not currently have a copy of the Will, this is a critical risk. Without proving the Will, the property may be treated as intestate, in which case all legal heirs (mother, brother, sister, you) may claim equal share.

The safest and most practical steps for you are:

  • Immediately obtain a certified copy of your father’s Will

  • After your mother’s lifetime (or earlier, if needed), initiate probate proceedings (especially advisable to avoid disputes)

  • Ensure your possession and rights are properly documented

If you want to further secure your position, you may also ensure that:

  • Property records and municipal entries are aligned with the Will

  • Any future disputes are pre-empted through legal documentation

In summary, your siblings cannot force you to vacate if the Will is valid and enforceable, and your mother cannot override your father’s Will for his property. Your priority should be to secure and legally establish the Will.
