Property shall be treated as self earned property to you and your sister.  Not as ancestral.  You can sell your share without consent of your sister.  After sister relinquished her share in your favour,  you can sell the entire property without her consent.

When she already released her 50% share, no question of partition arise. If S1 has any child than his 50% share has resume ancestrol coparcenory status and released 50% share is self acquired property. 

Consent is required.

1. A deed of release is a legal document that removes a previous claim on an asset. It provides documentation of release from a binding agreement.It not for a partition .Partition' is a re-distribution or adjustment of pre-existing rights, among co-owners/coparceners, resulting in a division of lands or other properties jointly held by them, into different lots or portions and delivery thereof to the respective allottees. The effect of such division is that the joint ownership is terminated and the respective shares vest in them in severalty. A partition of a property can be only among those having a share or interest in it.

2. Property inherited upto 4 generations of male lineage (i.e., father, grand father, etc.) is called as ancestral property. The right to a share in such a property accrues by birth itself, unlike other forms of inheritance, where inheritance opens only on the death of the owner. The property not comes under ancestral 

3 4. .After the death of father the right ion the property divided equally between his legal heirs (SON and Daughter)

೧. The Fifty percent land property you got from your father is your separate property.

೨.  Since it's not considered as ancestral property in your hands, you have absolute right to take independent decision regarding the property, including selling the property to a prospective buyer, without taking the consent of your children.

೩. Sure. In view of execution of Release Deed with consideration, instead of property by your sister, it can be treated as if partition has taken place, subsequent to the execution of Release Deed.

The property of s1 is ancestral. The share which he received from his sister is not ancestral as he purchased it.

The land received through sale consideration from the sister is NOT an ancestral property and he can sell it.

Firstly Mr A has only one legal heir no other children to him except Mr B if so MR B is entitled to property and Mr B has 2 legal heir ie., son and daughter and sister had released all her rights to brother and its registered deed in such a case there is no issue it's considered legally that she has no objection and had released all her right to you and you became the absolute owner for her share and their is no claim from others in that share; 

50% of land wat you hot from your father is an ancestral property and got by virtue of inheritance certificate ie after the demise of your father you have inherited the property and there will be an involvement of your legal heirs there and they will be the legal heir to the share of that property too ; 

As I told you your legal heirs consent is most important and all the legal heir should be the party to property what you convey to others as per the present amendment of hindu succession act 1956 from 9.9.2005 even the daughters are entitled to the property of father and if you wont take the consent it may lead to litigation;

Yes after the division of property a part of her share for which with her own consent she has released all her rights to you by virtue of registered release deed!

If the property had other legal heirs when you got it from father it will be ancestral as it has to devolve undivided from four generations of male lineage. 

If again it's ancestral you need their consent else no need. 

 No it's not a partition unless a registered partition deed or court decree is not there

Yes registered deed of 1992 will be considered as valid partition.

The property after settlement will be considered as self acquired property of S1

They will not have coparcenary right in property because it is not HUF land. 

Yes he can sell the property without consent from his children.

If you are confused by different answers then you must know the law position to remove you confusion by your own

Your property is not an ancestral because property needs to be four generations old undivided to get the status of ancestral.

An ancestral property after division becomes self acquired property in the hands of the individual owner in respect of the share so transferred.

Now rest you decide as per my earlier as answer.

1. The 50% property you got on account of intestate death of your father, is your separate property in your hands and your children will not have any right in the property during your lifetime. It's not coparcenary or ancestral property at this point of time.

2.  There is no bar for selling the 50% property you got from your father, as it is your separate property, without the consent of your son and daughter.

3.  On the intestate demise of your father, the entitlement to the property devolved equally to you and your sister. In other words, the property was owned by you and your sister. Your sister by way of releasing her share in the property has executed a Release Deed relinquishing her share in the property in your favour, thus making you the sole owner of the property. This action can be considered as partition of the property between the brother and sister, but not by metes and bounds.

As far as I am concerned I have given my opinion based on the provisions of law in this regard.

In a forum like this, it is as galaxy of lawyers and like tow watches dont agree with the time, lawyers may differ in their opinion.

You dont worry about the ambiguities, you may refer to the law yourself in this regard and confirm the legal status, compare the same with the opinions given by different lawyers and take a decision instead of getting struck  .based on the doubts and not doing anything further.

You may even consult a local experienced and prudent lawyer in person to clarify and confirm the legal status of the property if you are still in  doubt about it.

As for being ancestral it has to devolve from 4 male generation undivided if it doesn't fullfill this critera then it's become self acquired to the people who received it. And after being self acquired status then you need not have to take consent
