All of you get equal share as per following rule of law and accordingly you can file a suit for partition and get a share as well as restrain others from selling the property.

A.Dear Client,
If your father has made a will before his death then the property shall be bestowed according to that. In case he has not done that, the property shall be divided equally among all his children and his wife. Try to get the succession certificate for the property and thereafter file a partition suit for yourself and your sister.
Thanks.

A.If your father has died intestate. i.e without making a will then all the legal heirs shall have equal claim. In such a case even the sisters have a right to the property [of it being ancestral in nature].
Thanks
