Actually speaking, the property belongs absolutely to A alone and nobody has any right or share in the property. The property was bequeathed to him by way of a Will and it was duly acted upon after the demise of the testator, hence A becomes the absolute owner of the property. Since this is a bequeathed property it cannot be considered as ancestral property in any manner hence no one can claim any share as a right in the property and A has got full rights to dispose the property in any manner to anyone of his choice without taking the consent of any of his children or his wife or anyone.
Therefore you need not bother about the deceased daughter's heirs or even A' heirs to give their consent, it is not necessary, at least legally.

If a property is got by will, it has to be treated as his property and he can sell the property to any person. If the property is inherited without a will then the legal heirs can claim share in the property. Therefore there is no impediment in purchasing the property
