The house was registered in your deceased mother's name after whose demise it devolved equally on all her heirs i.e her widower and children. So your father can transfer only his share and not that of your brother. If the property is to convey absolutely to you then your brother is to execute a relinquishment deed in your favour.

The property though was funded by your father, it was bought on the name of your mother, hence it was your mother's exclusive property.
Upon the intestate death of your mother, the property left behind by her devolves equally on all her own legal heirs consisting your father, yourself and your brother.
Since your brother is also a legal heir and entitled to his legitimate share in the property, he cannot be denied his share in the property.
You cannot force him to give away his share for sentimental or any other reason.
If you apprehend that he may occupy the entire property after your father's lifetime, you may file a partition suit now itself and in which you can implead your father as a plaintiff and he may execute a registered release deed in your favor as far as his share is concerned.
if it is your's father self acquired property then he can transfer it to any person excluding all heirs or to any one heir only.
he can transfer it to you either by Will or gift. his son has no vested right in the property therefore he cannot claim his share.
