- As per law, your father cannot transfer his HUF property , without dissolving the HUF.
- The only way a HUF can be dissolved is by a partition, and all members should agree to dissolve the HUF.
- Further, under a partition, each member has an equal right to the assets/property owned by an HUF, and it cannot be sold & transfer without having each member of the family on board, and even an unborn child, who is still in the womb of its mother, has a right to the property , however it is not necessary to divide the properties in metes and bounds
- Further, Partition can be total or partial, and in total partition all the members cease to be members of the HUF and all the properties cease to be properties belonging to the said Partition could be partial also, and in partial some of the members go out on partition and other members continue to be the members of the family i.e. some of the properties, can be divided among the members other properties continue to be HUF properties.
- Further, it is not necessary that other members should agree to the partition , and other members can continue to remain joint.
- Hence, dissolve the HUF , and partition and transfer .

1. Your sister is also entitled to equal share in the HUF property as Coparcener.
2. So if your father intends to transfer the HUF property to only his sons, then it's not legal, as your sister also has equal share in it on par with her brothers, as per amendment to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 in 2005.
Your father can dissolve the HUF by drawing a family partition by dividing the property into number of equal shares to the number of coparceners including your father.
Your mother shall not be entitled to any coparcenary share in it as a right because she is just a member whereas your your sister shall be entitled to an equal share as a coparcener.
The FDs can be foreclosed.
We suggest that you should dissolve the HUF and execute an deed whereunder you should divide each person share. The deed which you execute you are required to get the same registered
Tge karta cannot transfer property by himself. He cmha sto take permission from the other members of the HUF. A relinquishment deed has to be made by the other shareholders.
