Hi, As your mother is the absolute owner of the property she can execute a registered gift deed in favour of you so that the property can transfer to you by way of gift.

1. There is no restrictions in the transfer of proeprty from parents to a foreign citizens.

2. In other words your mother can transfer the same by way of deed of gift to both you and your brother.

3. In the gift deed the stamp duty is most minimal.

1. The title of the property can be conveyed in your name in two ways. the first one is to execute and register a gift deed in your favour and the second one is to register a will in your favour.

2. In case of gift deed, the title of the said flat will be transferred in your name immediately after the said deed is registered.

3. In case of Will, the title of the property will transferred in your name after her demise only.

4. Though will is not required to be registered, it will be prudent on your part to register it to avoid any claim later on that you have coerced her to sign the said will.

5. In most of the places/states in India, Will is required to be probated to be valid but in Delhi, no probate is required to validate a will.
