hi,

You have to clarify whether the property is self acquired or Ancestral property(fourth Generation)
If its a self acquired property in the name of your father then he can dispose it off according to his will.
if the property is an Ancestral property then also he can sell the property.

if the property is in your father's name than he is the absolute owner of the property and he can deal with the property as he likes and no one else (including you and your brothers) has any right in the property till he is alive. If your father makes a Will giving you a share in the property or if he dies without making a Will only then you can file a suit for partition in the said property.

The property is on the name of your father if he is willing to sell it than your younger brothers' consent is not necessary because till your father alive they & you don't have any shares unless he transfers or have already transfered.
