Dear Experts, We wanted to transfer all my father's property(self acquired) to my sister through Will. I don't want any share in my father's property. So is it necessary to mention my name in the WILL and write the point "with the consent of my son". Please give your opinion. Thanking you.

It is better if you are mentioned in the will and additionally your signature as a witness to the will are also obtained.

Your consent is not required since it is a self acquired property.

Agreed with Mr Vishal that your consent is not necessary for father's self acquired property . You may sign alongwith your consent in the Will as witness as suggested by Mr Rajkumar.

If the intended transfer is to take effect during your father's life time, settlement deed in favour of your sister executed by your father is enough. Your consent is not required.
In case, the intended transfer has to take effect after life time of your father, to avoid dispute in future, instead of WILL, You and your father jointly can execute settlement deed in favour of your sister by reserving life estate to your father.
