Question

1. me 2.my father 3. my grand father 4. his father . Can my father sell this property with out my knowledge or signature. Pls let me know..

Answer 1

Absolutely.

If your name is not on the deed, your father's name is (because his father left it to him), then he can sell it anytime.

If the land was left in a trust of some sort.. that would be different.

You are confusing "family history" or heritage, with legal ownership of land.  

Answer 2

I am assuming you are in the US. There is no such thing as a hereditary right to property. Upon the death of any person, the assets go to certain people based on certain rules -- generally, per the will if there is one, or the surviving spouse if there is not, or to the surviving children if there is neither will nor surviving spouse.

So, you have to work this out down the line of your family tree. May I assume your great-grandfather has already died? In that case, some person or persons got his property. No one else has any claim to it. Let's say that was 100% your grandfather. Then, when he dies (or died), the same thing again -- his property will pass to his surviving wife, or to his kids (your father plus brothers and sisters). And so on. With each succeeding inheritance, only the person(s) receiving the property has a claim -- everyone else is closed off.

I hope that makes sense and helps. Good luck.

Answer 3

If he owns it, he can sell it.  If you have a right, but virtue of some past will, then you own part of the rights and he cannot sell your rights.  If you are asking if you have some right now because you might inherit the property, the answer is unequivocally no.

Answer 4

It seems to me that he can if there is no will.
