Query perused. Once the property has been mutated in your fathers name it becomes a self acquired property and he can bequeath it to anyone of his choice thru a will. You or your sister perse can't claim. Your father can give it to you through Will or gift deed.

Whether grandchildren have a right to their grandfather’s property depends upon whether such property is joint family property or the self-acquired property of the grandfather. If the property is joint family property (HUF property) the grandchildren would also be entitled to a share depending upon the number of members or coparceners of such joint family. However, in the case of self-acquired property of grandfather, no such right vests in any person much less grandchildren to inherit the grandfather’s property.

Hello sir i have perused your query. In the circumstances where the property is self acquired in nature, the right in the property of a daughter or a son does not lie. Therefore you can not claim anything out of the said property unless you've contributed in its purchase.
