1. A will comes into operation only after the lifetime of testator. During his lifetime the testator is at liberty to revoke his will.

2. Your sister can challenge the will only after the lifetime of your father and on the ground that it was made by him under coercion from his sons to exclude her from succeeding to his properties.

3. To preempt any mischief by your sister your father can revoke the will to execute a gift deed in favour of his sons.

Hi, if the property is the self acquired property of your father then he can dispose of the property to anybody according to his wills and fancy so your sister has no right to claim share in the property.

2. The "WILL" come into effect only after the death of your father.

The will written by your father cannot be enforced during his life time. He can change the will anytime during his life time.

If the property is his self acquired property or he is the absolute owner of the property he may make the bequest in any manner as per his own wish and desire and to anyone of his choice. No one can demand or put pressure on him to allot a share to them, that would be an illegal act and punishable under criminal law for the offences of criminal intimidation and threats etc.

Neither your sister's husband nor your sister nor anyone in your family or outside can file any cs against your father for not allocating a share to them, the same will not be tenable or maintainable.

During the subsistence of the present will, if your father breathes his last, the will shall come into force and in case of any dispute over it, you can apply for grant of probate of will through competent court of law and bring the will into force.

1. At first blush all are separate properties of your father, which he can alienate.

2. As I said, get a flawless deed drafted by a lawyer to transfer the property,

The property acquired by your father through his father now becomes his own and absolute property. He can make settlement by executing a registered irrevocable settlement deed of entire properties in favor of the beneficiaries of his choice and the extent can be decided by him on which nobody has got any right to interfere.

If your father do not want to give any share of property to your sister, he can make a settlement deed in favor of you and your brother now itself instead of executing a will which shall become enforceable after his lifetime and readily waiting litigation will emerge to disturb your peace and sleep.
