Any oral promise will not hold good in law.  Property will be equally distributed among five people.

A persons last desire be it a will or oral should be fulfilled. It is good of you that you intend honoring his word. Division of a property between legal heirs can be done on mutual basis. All parties including your father's sister can execute a family settlement in terms of your father's desire.
