Grand Mother property Rights after her Death
My Grand-Mother passed away few years back and she has a self-acquired property in Bnagalore. She has 1 son that is my father. My father has a relationship with another lady(Not sure if they are married) apart from my mom and she has one daughter. Now, I would like to construct a house on that property. Below are my questions in this Regard,
1. Who is the owner after my grandmother's death? My grandfather is also dead and the property is in my grandmother's name.
2. Can that other lady/her daughter(Minor 12 years) claim rights on that property?
3. Can The other lady/step and her daughter give away their rights through release deed.
4.Can my Dad sell the property without my consent.
5.My dad is telling that he will write a will stating that the property should come only to me after his death. Is that WILL valid?
Please help me with these questions

Dear All,
Thank you for addressing my questions. Currently, the property is in my grand mother's name and she died without a will. Now, my dad is ready to write a will or get a release deed done from other lady, but he is not ready to give it to me untill he is alive. I would require some more clarity on the procedure/rule for writing a will.
1. I understood that the Will written by my dad will be valid, but can he change it in the future? Is there anything called unchangeable will ? He is not ready to give away the property untill his lifetime, he is ready to give only after his death.
2. After writing the will in my name stating that the property should belong only to my son after my death, Can the other lady still claim rights on the property after my dad's death?
3. My concern here is I want to construct a house on that property and after my dad's death, the other lady or no one should claim rights on it. What is the best approach/law I should follow now.
4. How can the other lady/her minor daughter claim rights on the property? I am not sure whether they are married, I believe as per hindu marriages, having more than one wife/relationships is illegal, how can such people or their children claim property rights
?
Thanks in advance for your help/suggestions
