Hi,
My father passed away on 2018 february.We applied for legal heir certificate after that with members in the family(including grandma),She then passed away due to cancer that december 2018.She didnot wrote any will nor in a position to understand whats going on. Now,We want to sell a property of a father, can we just sell it just like that, or does it involve any legal needs.

Your grandma was alive at the time of demise of your father. She had a share in the property. Legally her share (in the property of father) would be inherited by all her legal heirs. You have to proceed accordingly.

The purchase will raise no objection since the property is of the whole family.

Well advised by experts Mr. Rajendra K Goyal and Mr. Kavksatyanarayana, I agree.
It would be better to consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for appreciation & analyses of facts/ documents, professional advise and necessary proceeding.

Any suggestion depends upon the personal law as applicable to your community.
If a Hindu, the sale deed needs to be executed not only by all the legal heirs of your father, but also by the legal heirs of grandmother unless Section 15 of the Hindu Succession Act has been amended as in the State of Kerala:
STATE AMENDMENT
Kerala.--
Amendment of section 15.--In the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 (Central Act 30 of 1956), in section 15, after clause (b) of sub-section (2), the following clause shall be inserted, namely:--
"(c)" any property inherited by a female Hindu from her pre-deceased son shall devolve, not upon the other heirs referred to in sub-section (1) in the order specified therein, but upon the heirs of the predeceased son from whom she inherited the property."
[vide Kerala Act 17 of 2016, sec. 2].
