Your mother is the owner of half of the property only.
The rest half share that belonged to your deceased father who is reported to have died intestate, shall devolve equally on all his legal heirs consisting your mother you and your sister.
If you and your sister would like your mother to become the owner of the enire property then you both may execute a registered release deed relinquishing your rights in the property in her favor.
