If during the life time of your father, the partition of the ancestral property would be done, then the property has to be divided in equal share between (i) father (ii) father's wife (i.e. mother) and each of the son(s) and each of the daughter(s).
Share eqaual to that of the son has to be given to the wife under Mitakshara law in all States other than Madras.
As regards the personal (self-earned)property, the father can settle it as he deems fit.
Yes, two separate settlements - one for ancestral property and the other for self-acquired property - can be done. There is no legal bar for the same.
