During life time your father can sell, gift or make will to any body, so your sister can not raise any objection to transfer the property to you. But if your father died intestate then you, your brother and sisters have equal right according to Hindu Succession Act.

1. None of the children of your father has any right in his property during his lifetime. Your father is free to make a will or gift deed in favour of his sons, if he desires. He may also enter into a family settlement with his two sons to place an embargo on the right of his daughters to claim any share in the property.

2. If your sisters create a hindrance then you and your father can move to court to seek injunction against them.

Hi, if the property is the self acquired property of your father then he can gift the property to his two sons so other daughters have no right to claim the property.

2. If the property is the ancestral property then all sons and daughters have equal share in the property and if the daughters have willing to give up there share then they have to execute the release deed in favour of your father.

1. Your father should execute a will bequeathing the title of his house amongst his two sons and in that case you shall have to take probate of the will after his death and after only taking probate of the will, you can own your share of the house,

2. Alternatively, your father can execute and register a Gift/Settlement Deed gifting/settling 50% of his house to each of his two sons and in that case you will get the ownership of your share immediately but your father will have no right and title on the said house,

3.Your father shall have to chose amongst any one of the above alternatives.

1. It shall have to keep in mind that gift/settlement deed is required to be registered whereas will need not be registered,

2. Gift/settlement deed transfers the title of the property immediately in your name but will transfers the title of the property after yiu take probate of the will after the demise of your father.

If it is the self-earned property of your father, it is his absolute right and liberty to give the property to anybody, including only to two sons.
