Hello,

best option will be that your mother makes a relinquishment deed and relinquish the share in your favour. Thereafter you may get the entire land mutated to your name.

1. Your mother can execute a registered Gift Deed for her share in the property in your favour or your mother can execute a registered Release/Relinquishment Deed in your favour relinquishing her share in the property.

2.  By this way you can become absolute owner of 1.5 acre agricultural land, which is at present in the joint names of you and your mother.

Your mother can transfer her share in the property to your name by executing a registered settlement deed or registered gift deed.

The best option for you is to get a gift deed executed from your mother in your favour which is going to save you some stamp duty as well. Also, who said give that needs to be mandatorily registration.

If you're going for a relinquishment deed, you would have to pay more stamp duty as government gives rebates in case of registration of gift deed to blood relatives.

A relinquishment deed is the best option as your mother would relinquish her share and you would become the sole owner of the property. 

Partition is different and is not applicable here as partition would mean that she is asking for her share and hence the property would be partitioned.

Dear Client,

Partition - wrong advise.

Only relinquishment deed or gift deed. Less stamp duty on release deed.

Since the property i.e., 1.5 Acres is the joint property of both you and your mother, your mother can execute a relinquishment deed, whereby she will be relinquishing her 50% share absolutely in your favour. Partition deed would not be required for this transaction.

Since your mother plans to execute a Gift Deed in both your name and brother name out of the 5 acre land she owns in mysuru, which will take immediate effect in so far as the transfer is considered, she need not execute a partition deed for this property as well. But she could think of executing a WILL in respect of the remaining land that she will retain in her name, which will come to effect post her demise only.

Now only after transfer of the land in Mysuru can you proceed to get the relinquishment deed executed by your mother for the 1.5 acre of land and not before that.

1. A registered Release Deed or a Gift Deed, is the best option for transferring property between joint owners (while being alive).

2. Do the above AFTER receiving the RTC documents, and annexing the RTC with the Gift Deed.
