Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

a) My name is Mahesh. My age is 35 years. My father is 75 and mother is 65.

b) My father has built a house from his own generated(produced) income.

c) My father's wish is that the house should go to my mother after his death and should come to me after my mother's death. This he says because, I am looking after my parents (supporting them) in their old age.

d) But my father says he is not interested in making a WILL due to some or the other reason.

e) I have one brother and three sisters.

f) I am worried assuming that there may be legal possibilities(rights) for my brother or sisters to go to court after my parents death to ask for a share in the house.

e) Hence please give me a solution other than making a WILL. For example, Can the house be jointly registered in three people names, my parent's name plus my name? etc.
