Quick Summary

This discussion addresses whether daughters can claim a share of their father's self-acquired property if he made a will. It clarifies that if the property is self-acquired, the father's will is paramount, and the consent of all children is not legally required for its validity. Even if one daughter didn't sign the will, it remains valid if properly executed, and other children cannot claim a share if not mentioned as beneficiaries.

If it was father's self acquired property then the property he transferred the property by testamentary disposition cannot be challenged by disappointed children.
Therefore the relinqishment made by others don't play any pivotal role here.

If father has a WILL of self acquired property then consent of any child is irrelevant. In case one daughter doe snot consent that does not make WILL invalid.

When a father executes a will, the consent of some of his legal heirs is unnecessary here, but the will is valid. As the property is self-acquired by the father, no other legal heirs have the right to claim it if the father did not mention them as beneficiaries.

The query is based on misconceived facts/law. There is no legal requirement that daughters or the children sign the WILL.
