Property, joint property, disposition, in relation to inheritance

السؤال

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, I am married with three beautiful daughters. I am the youngest of 4 children and the only son. My mother died in 1999 and my father mashallah is still with us at age 75. My questions are as follows : 1. My father's only asset is his marital home (my mother was legally a joint owner), my father has told me he has gifted this to one of my sisters as she is divorced. Is he permitted to do this or does he not have to follow the inheritance rules ? 2. Did our mother have any share in the home and does any inheritance rule apply on that since our father was and still is alive ? 3. Any of my mothers belongings other than the house, was it right for my father to just hand me a pouch without involving me in the discussion and distribution ? 4. I live in another counrty and away from my parents home country. However, I have paid for monthly household expenses for my parents since I commenced working 20 years ago. I have also built up some assets of my own in that time. My sisters tell me that according to a hadith, my father has a right to all my assets and that I cannot ask him what he does with the house that he has gifted ? Is this correct ? if not please explain why. I would be grateful for a full response to these questions that includes references to Quran and hadith. thank you very much. Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help
