B. However,only your father can claim respective property right if your mother died without intestate and all children also will have equal share over the property.
1. first you should file civil suit for temporary injunction under order 39 of cpc and prevent him to interfere in the title of the property and attempt to sell it.
2. prepare a WILL and transfer it to any person upon whom she has belief and secure this property.
3. if your father wants to sell it he will not do so because he needs to challenge WILL and injunction simultaneously and it will take many years to decide because " balance of convenience" is in your favour. Pari deluctum shall not be applied in this case.
