You have not mentioned that whether the property is inherited or self acquired. If it is inherited it is the pure discretion of you father to give it according to his choice and you can not do anything .

If it is ancestral property, any partition or settlement can take place only with the consent of all the co-sharers. If it is self-acquired, your father is free to create a settlement as he pleases without consent from any of you.

I take it as your ancestor property and advice you accordingly, without concurrence of other shareholders a partition cannot be effected. You may file a suit for partition and get partitioned as per law.

No need. If the properties are self earned your father has all the rights to dispose of the same as per his wishes. Whether son or daughter or including wife has no right to claim a share in the property. Having said that he is duty bound to provide shelter, food and maintenance to his wife namely your mother and support the children for their education, etc.
