Can my father transfer his property to me only and not to other family members

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

If it is a self-acquired property of your father, as it is mentioned in your question, then as per the provisions of the law applicable to Hindus, he has full right during his lifetime to dispose of the property in his discretion to any person. There is no restriction on him in this regard. He can sell the property or he can gift it to anyone. So, he can transfer the property to you by way of a registered gift deed. Other family members cannot oppose it legally since it is the exclusive right of your father to dispose of his self-acquired property in the manner he wants.
