My father has gifted multiple properties to my mother which are ancestral. Can he do that? Any exceptions? My father received these properties from my grand father through partition deed.

Hi In this case it his not ancestral, bezc ancestral property has been broken by/through Partition Deed between father & children. when once it ceased it can not be ancestral property, then it's becomes acquired property by way of Partition Deed. So he can gift it whom so ever he wants.

hi gift can happen within the family hence there is no bar in giving gift to his wife in case if she alone is the coparcenor.... with the consenting witness as any issues of his own in that gift deed
