Yes daughters have equal share over father's property if the property is not partitioned during the life time of father, and yes their signatures are required for a partition deed. On the other hand they can also execute relinquishment deed relinquishing their rights over the property and once they relinquish their rights they will not have any claim over the property.

madum/sir, If the partition was done before the amendment of in hindu succession act 2005, then the daughter has no right to share in the ancestral properties. Earlier to amendment of act 2005, there is no need of daughters signature to the partition deed. So for not partition among the brothers before or after the death of father, the daughters are entitle for notional share as per law. If it is self acquired property of their father, then entitle for equal share.
