My Father had willed his property to my mother's name and after his death the property transferred to my mother's name after given consent (noc) by all four sisters and two brothers now my mother sold the property to my elder sister without informing any of us. Is it legal. We are Hindu by religion.

Will is required to be probated to have it effective. Without probate of the will no legal right acrues over the property by virtue of the of the will. But once will is probated the beneficiary becomes the exclusive owner of the property and has the right to transfer the property to any one.
