Regarding the property, if the said property was transferred by a way of gift deed then, you are the sole owner of the property. However, if the said property is ancestral in nature then, also, your sister can not claim their share in the said property as your father died before 2005 amendment, thus, your sisters can not claim their share in the said property.
