  1. Yes you need consent of all the owners before buying an ancestral property because as per law, after the demise of co-owner, the legal heirs get a share in the property so it is advisable to get signatures of all the living legal heirs on the agreement before finalizing the sale because the seller is not the complete owner of the ancestral property.

    however if the Owner is selling the property as a Karta of HUF and is doing do for the legal necessity of the HUF then in that case no signatures are required.
