Under Hindu law, the general principle is that a father cannot sell ancestral property without the consent of his adult sons (coparceners). Ancestral property refers to property inherited by male descendants from three generations, including the father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. If the property is considered ancestral, it is held jointly by all the coparceners, and each coparcener has an equal share and a right to the property. In such cases, the consent of all adult coparceners is typically required for a valid sale or alienation of the ancestral property.
However, if the property is self-acquired by the father (meaning he purchased it using his own funds), he has the sole right to sell it without the consent of his children. In this case, your father can legally sell the property without your signature.
If the successor is a minor, the father will need to take permission from the court if he wishes to sell the property. The court’s authorization is necessary in such cases.
Remember that legal interpretations can vary based on specific circumstances, court decisions, and personal laws.
