On demise of grandfather Intestate your grand mother and mother would be legal heirs

2) you have not mentioned how property was transferred in grand mother name

3) did your mother relinquish her share in favour of your grandmother

4) if so your grandmother as absolute owner can execute gift deed in your favour

5) if your mother had not executed relinquishment or gift deed then your grand mother can gift her 50 per cent share in property to you

1.there is no concept of ancestral property in the case of a female.

2.So your grand mother is sole owner of this property and she can deal with it in any manner she likes.

3.So your grandmother can make gift deed in your favour in which even no consent is required either from your mother or siblings.

4. i wonder where is the place of confusion here.

If the properties are in the name of your grandmother by a registered document, then as an absolute owner of the property she can transfer the property to your mother's name by executing a registered settlement deed during her lifetime or she can bequeath the property to your mother's name by executing a Will in her name.

Alternately your grandmother can execute a registered gift deed in your name or anyone's name as suggested by your family members.

The above steps can be taken without any problem becasue they are some of the legally available method to transfer the property from your grandmother's name to the other person who is willing to accept the property.

1. Since the property is in your grand mother's name,as per your narration, she can execute Gift Deed during her lifetime, to anybody of her choice and in the instant case to you, if agreed to by your grandmother.

2. The instant property in your grand mother's name in her hands is her self-acquired property.

2. Upon registering the property in your favour through gift deed, you shall become the owner of the property and you can get the Khatha mutated in your name in the municipal/BBMP records.
