1. The sisters of your deceased unmarried uncle are Class II (II) heirs of his properties whereas brother's sons are class II (IV) heirs of the said properties,

2. So, the two unmarried sisters of your father will have first right on the share of the properties of your father's deceased unmarried brother.

Your father's unmarried brother's share of the property will be owned by his sisters as explained in my earlier post.

You have stated that this property was in the joint names of your father and his two brothers.

Whether married or not all the brothers had equal shares in the joint property, therefore the share of the unmarried brother cannot extinguish along with his death. His intestate share in the property shall devolve on his legal heirs, in the absence of class I legal heirs, it will go the hands of class II surviving heirs.

Your unmarried uncle's intestate share of property shall devolve on his sisters who survive him as his class II legal heirs, therefore they are entitled to his share of property.

You may arrange for a compromised settlement with them and get a registered release deed from them relinquishing their rights in the property which would enable you to acquire their share of properties too.

I am not able to understand your question. If the property is registered in favour of your father and his 2 brothers then they can gift or bequeath their respective shares to any one they desire. The unmarried brother cannot claim a share in the properties which are registered separately in favour of his sisters.
