1. The property of your father has devolved on his widow and all children equally if he did not make a will. The share of every heir is 1/4th. 

2. Your mother's share is only 1/4th, hence she alone cannot sell the entire property unless other 3 heirs execute a release deed in her favour.

You, your brother and your sister, need to execute a relinquishment deed in favour of your mother so that the whole property comes to her. By this relinquishment deed all 3 of your will relinquish your respective share in this property in the favor of your mother. Based on this deed, she may get the property transferred in her name on the revenue records. Post this, she will be free to sell off the property.

Upon intestate death of your deceased father the property left behind by him shall devolve equally on all his legal heirs consisting his wife and children.

If you and your siblings want this property to be transferred to your mother's name alone, then you three should execute a registered release deed relinquishing your rights in the property in favor of your mother.

After that your mother will become an absolute owner of the property and can sell it independently.

Whether the husband and wife alone were living in that house prior to husband's death, the widow of the husband will not be entitled to property in full, her children being successors in interest re entitled to their legitimate share in the property left behind by her husband.

They may follow the procedures as stated in my previous post to make the wife as an absolute owner of the entire property.

Dear client, 

After father death, all 4 you will inherit property. To make mother absolute owner, You 3 have to execute release deed in mother favour. Or execute POA in mother favour than she solely can sell the property and 3/4th share of sale amount shall be gifted to her.

After husband death , his property will inherit in his wife , mother and children. On the basis of legal Heir certificate, property will transfer in their name . Or can make her absolute owner by executing registered WILL.

  1. Yes, as per the law of Succession Act, if the husband dies intestate (without living any Will with respect to the immovable property) then it would go to the wife, surviving children and if any children had also died then his legal heirs.
