You would need letters of administration from court in case your mother has not left any will behind.

Based on the registered family did of settlement and letter of administration received from the court you can get the title transferred in your name.

1.On death of your mother her property is liable for division among 3 of you in equal undivided share and hence any of you can relinquish your respective share in favour of another by way of deed of gift or deed of release.

2. So there is no restraint on the part of your brother and sister to transfer their 2/3rd share each in your favour to make you absolute owner of the property left by your mother and on the basis of these deeds you can apply for mutation in your name.

3. if they make the gift deed there is no need for separate family deed of settlement.

The property is not divided 

So you cannot relinquish specific portions 

Both brothers can however mutually partition the property among themselves by executing a partition deed and then execute and register release deeds in favour of each other as agreed in partition deed

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that as now your koywrbis no more and she has not even left any Will for the property leafy with her after selling part of it.
  2. You all will have to get the succession certificate form the court of law and then can go for the partition in the basis of the mutual agreement of otherwise by court of law.
  3. Any one who wishes to transfer her share in the property then he or she would have to relinquish her right in favour of the other through registered relinquishment deed.
  4. Then other one can get it registered on his or her name with the help of R deed and succession certificate.

Rest, if you like my answer then can contact me rough Kaanoon for further  any legal assistance on this issue.

Sir 

As there is no specific share allotted to anyone the best way is to proceed through a family settlement and can divide the shares in whatever manner you want.

The same can be registered after depositing the stamp duty on the property with the local sub-registrar.

1. Under the circumstances and achieve your objectives, a registered Family Settlement Deed, with mutual signatures, can be executed, clearly outlining the division or exchange or allotment of properties. This will create a record for future legitimate sale /gift /transfer /mortgage /whatever.

2.  Based on the Family Settlement Deed, apply to the mutation authorities (local civic body /tahsildar office) for change in records and mutations.

Dear Sir,

You and your brother can as proposed provided there is no ambiguity about the measurement of the area and all other related issues.  Family settlement document may be produced before concerned authority and they will act upon settlement deed and if nobody objects the property will be transferred in your name.
