Can my paternal uncle sell part of his undivided property to me

My father has two brothers and two sisters. My grand father expired and left behind about 5 acres of farm land (his self earned property). My grandmother has expired as well.
This farm land 7/12 etc papers and records are now transferred on the name of my father and his brothers plus sisters. This property division is not done yet. They all own it together.
1. Can one of my uncles sell a part of his undivided share (not full) to me ?
2. What consents and who all need to sign such a legal document

1. Since the mutation has taken place any one of the owners is at liberty to sell his share to you only after the division. Unless division takes place there can be no sale except with the consent of all other co-owners.

2. In the event of sale before division all co-owners are required to sign the sale deed.

Since the self acquired  property of your devolves on all his legal heirs after his intestate demise, your uncle can very well sell his undivided share  in the jointly held property to you or to anyone of his choice, there is no bar on this.  No documents required for this.
