If it is a self acquired property you can not ask for your share, if by chance your father expired expires without making any WILL, then you will be eligible for inheriting your share in the property. as per the current scenario  your father can refuse  to give you any share and he can sell the same without your consent and even give the whole property to your brother without your consent.

Nobody accrue any right to the Self acquired property of your father. Your father can dispose the property as per his choice during his life time. If no disposition is made property will pass on as per intestate succession  to all legal heirs equally.

1. Nothing prevents you from asking your father for a share in the property owned by him.

2. Is the property your father's self acquired property or a HUF property?.

3. Since I haven't seen the records, assuming that it's HUF property, then you are entitled to a share in the property and your father cannot sell or give the entire proceeds to your brother, without your permission.

4. In the alternative scenario, suppose the property is your father's self acquired property, then during his lifetime it is upto him to take any decision as per his sweet wish and will, whether to sell or retain or to gift the property to anyone of his choice, including children or to only his son or daughter.   Since it's his self acquired property, he needn't take anybody's permission, including his daughter or son, to transact with the property.

The property is a self acquired property and hence he can do anything he likes with it. You dont have a right in the property although if he dies intestate you shall have a share in the property equal to your brother.

During his lifetime, your  father is the owner of his  property.  Neither you nor your brother have any share in the said property during the lifetime of your father.  Your father can sell, gift, etc to anyone including you and your brother or leave a Will in anybody's favor. However, in case he dies without executing a Will, you have half share in the property after his death.

a married daughter is considered a part of HUF. Prior to 2005 amendment in the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, the daughter, on her marriage, ceases to be a member of her father’s HUF and becomes a member of her husband’s HUF. However, after the amendment the daughter married or unmarried, is now considered as co-parcener like a son.
