Like physical documents are signed manually, electronic documents, for example e-forms are required to be signed digitally using a Digital Signature Certificate.

property cant be transferred.

25 January 2013 Till date there are no provisions in india
which permit property to be transfered electronically. It has to be done physically through physical stamp papers. So dont worry for the property.
It is a signature which is used to sign the electronic documents. So it has same value that of your fathers physical signature. So you should keep it with you in safe hands. Moreover, the digital signature is required to file income tax return only in case if your firm is covered under audit.
