The daughters too have a share but they can sign on a relinquishment deed in favour of the brother. Also he ought to file a declaratory suit in order to name the property in his name.

A is owner of half share as per partition deed. As long as A is alive, he is owned of the property. During his lifetime he can execute the Will in favor of any of his siblings. In case he doesn't execute Will, you are owner of 1/3 rd share after his death not before that.  Will ican also be enforced after his death.  In this way, on getting 1/3 rd share each, anyone can relinquish his/her share in favor of other siblings by executing Relinquishment Deed.

It appears that the daughters are willing to relinquish their share in favour of the sons.

if that is so then it can best be done through a deed of gift.

The deed of settlement can also be made but that has to be done b the father only, if he is alive.

After the partition, A and B were entitled to their exclusive shares. It is not clear if A is alive as on date. If so, A can gift his entire share to his son or leave his entire share in favour of his son by way of a Will. In both cases, consent of daughters of A is not legally necessary. In case A is no more, his estate shall devolve upon his Class-I legal heirs- his mother, his wife, his son and his daughters equally. If the other legal heirs wish to forgo their respective shares in favour of the son, all the legal heirs, including the son, have to execute a Deed of Settlement-cum-Relinquishment, whereby all the other legal heirs relinquish their respective shares in favour of the son and settle the entire property in his favour.

daughter can execute relinquishment deed or gift deed her share in favour of son.

Since this property was inherited by the father of the children i.e., A, during his lifetime the son or the daughters cannot claim any rights over the property.

If A is reported to have died intestate then the property shall devolve equally  on all his legal heirs i.e., his children and his wife.

In case the other legal heirs are willing to transfer their share in the property then they may have to execute a registered release deed relinquishing their rights in the property ion favor of him.

You may consult a document writer in the local who will prepare the document as per law and the  prevailing circumstances.

Dear sir

There are two ways for settlement of property 

One is they can make relinquishment deed of their share in favor of brother. And register the relinquishment deed with required stamp duty. 

Second is they can make gift deed of their share and get it registered with proper stamp duty
