2) your parents are being fair and distributing sale proceeds in property equally among your sisters and you

3)you cannot get legally more than 1/3rd share in property . in fact if your father wishes he may refuse to give you any share

4) your wife and daughter have no share in your father property

2. If the property is the joint family property you can't claim independent right over the property.

You have not stated that how did your father acquire the property, whether self acquired or inherited through his father, and if inherited whether it was by a partition or just like that and also whether the property originally belonged to his grandfather?

However, assuming the property to be your father's self acquired property, he has full rights to disposed it in any manner and to anyone of his choice. Mere working with him for such long years will not entitle you to claim the entire property or major share. You should be happy that he is ready to partition and allot 1/3 share to you.

Your wife or children also do not have any rights to claim any share in the property.

1. If the property is owned by your parents you have no share therein during their lifetime.

2. Your parents are at liberty to sell or dispose their property to anyone they desire by making a will, gift or sale deed.

3. The amount of money you invested in the business can be recovered by you by filing a lawsuit for recovery in the court. Before doing so you may obtain a stay order against the sale so that third party rights are not created.
