Can my father sell his property without our consent

917 votes

Yes he can. The property in his hand is an absolute property through WILL and not by inheritance. It came to your father through a testamentary instrument - Will. Therefore it became an absolute property. Your mother, your sister and you don't have any right over your father property. He can even sell it to any third party and your consent for the same is not required in law.

To entitle your right you must look into the WILL of your grandfather in favour of your father and look for the chances of challenging it.
By doing so it will negate your father's absolute right over the property. But it also opens the door for the sibling of your father if any, for getting their share.

My questions
1.Can he sell or give away that property to anyone without our consent?

This being your father's inherited property inherited from his father and developed by his own funds, the property shall be your father's own and absolute property. Hence he can very well deny any claim made by anyone in this regard.
He can sell his own property to anyone of his choice and he need take the consent of permission from your mother or you people.





2.Can my mother claim a share in that property?

No, she is also not entitled to any share in it nor she has any right in the property..






3,Do we (me and my sister) have any rights in that property?

No.
