Since the property is self-acquired, in case of a legally tenable Will, the daughter has no claim per se. However, in case the deceased has left a share for the daughter then it will be strict as per the testament. But if the property holder dies intestate (without a legally tenable Will), then the mother, wife, and daughter of the deceased person will have same and equal right in the interests left behind intestate, since all three are Class I heirs.
