Distribution under general inheritance rules : Inheritance without a will

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh Thank you so much for responding very fast. My father passed away on November 26, 2006. My dad did not have a Will made, he was in process of making it. He had made many attempts to make it, attended seminars as well anyway now, my mom is alive (alhumdallah) and wants to know what need to be done. She has been getting different opinions from people regarding Will distribution. My dad and mom worked for years and now they are retired. My parents were getting Pension and as per company rules they had to have each other as beneficiary and same thing apply to 401K. As per company rule they are default to each other as beneficiary. Now does my mom need to distribute to her three daughters and no sons. My dad has two brothers and sister alive. My parent had their both name on home, bank accounts as well as property back home in India. Neither of my sisters or I want any thing from our mom right now. My mom is in process of making a Will now and can the Will distribution wait or everything needs to be done now. Sorry, my questions are very long and I had to ex pain the situation. Please call if I didn't make any sense. Thanks Asma
