Hi
Supposing the gift deeds mentioned are all registered ones and there is no WILL made by the father
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
1. Since gift deed is an absolute title transferring document once it is execute and accepted by the donee, it cannot be cancelled unless both doner and donee mutually decides to do .
2. In your case donor of the deed , the father died so challenging the gift deed is not easily possible
The sisters will not succeed in challenging the gift deed. Gift Deed once execute can not be cancelled( under sec.122 Transfer of Property .Act,only court can cancelled it by a declaration suit by the donor if there was any fraud and coercion happened at the time of execution,but in rare cases court would cancel the
3. The Probate is possible only if there is an existing WILL by the father. Is there any WILL , you have not mentioned about any WILL executed by the father.
4. There is no time limitation to revoke the Registered gift deed and it can be done only through a court order. and the suit of declaration to cancel the gift deed has to be filed within three years of the knowledge of the existence of the gift deed gift deed
1. Duly executed and registerd Gift Deed is irrevocable. Sister has no scope or right to get it cancelled,
2. There is no scope for any grant of probate in case of Registered Gift Deed.Probate is granted by the Court in case of Will,
3. If the transfer of title has been legally carried out by the bonafied donee, then it is a valid transfer. If this property is a dwelling house where all are living together, then other brothers should have been offered the said sold portion to buy at the same price at which it has been sold to make this transfer to the third party valid. it is called pre-emption,
4. Registered Gift Deed is irevoacle.
Hello,
1) Gift Deed once made is absolute. It can be revoked only if both the parties, the one giving the gift and the one accepting it agree to do likewise.
2) Probate is always advisable to avoid future litigation. But if the property is already gifted you will need to deal with it before applying for probate.
3) The third party has no protection just because the property was transferred. The question will arise if the person who does had title as the gift itself is getting challenged.
4) There is no time limitation for revocation of gift deed provided both the parties are agreeable to do so.

B. Once the Gift Deed executed by legal manner that cannot be cancelled except decree of the court.
C. Your sister and brother objection is depending upon the nature of property, i.e, ancestral or joint family property.
D. Probate will be applicable in the Will cases, not Gift Deed.
E. The third party can be protected under the bona fide purchaser without knowing the material facts subject to the establishment of non awareness of the claims and facts.
F. Gift deed can be set aside on grounds of undue influence and fraud, Period of limitation of 3 years. Therefore, after 3 years, it is barred by law of limitation.
