First, you will need to apply for letters of administration from court.

After that, The other legal heirs would need to execute relinquishment deed releasing their rights in the property in your favour and the said deed needs to be mandatorily registered after payment of requisite stamp duty at sub register office.

Once that is done, the property can be transferred in your name as sole owner.

1. You need to get the property mutated in your name once the your name is is reflected in the land records as the sole owner.

2. Letters of Administration are granted by a Court to appoint appropriate people to deal with a deceased person's estate where property will pass under Intestacy Rules 

3. Yes. The major difference is that in case of relinquishment deed, no consideration amount is paid for the release of the property rights, whereas in case of sale deed payment of sale consideration is a must.

obtain legal heir certificate from the Tehasildar by submitting a detailed application indicating all the Class-I heirs left behind by the deceased, their age, their relationship with the deceased (i.e. wife, son, daughter, mother etc.). The said Application should be accompanied by the Death Certificate.

After making enquiries, the Tehasildar will issue the legal heir certificate.

On the basis of the said legal heir certificate, the legal heirs have to approach the Authorities for mutation of the property in their name.

First of all all the legal heirs have to transfer their rights in the property to your name by executing a registered release deed relinquishing their rights in the property in your favor.

After that you can apply for mutation or revenue records to your name on the basis of this release deed, death certificate of your father.

You will become an absolute owner with clear and marketable title after following this process.

First of all let your mother and your brother execute a registered release deed relinquishing their rights in the proeprty in your favor, after that you may approach the revenue department with an application for mutation of revenue records.

Letters of administration is not required in this situation because your father is reported to have died intestate leaving behind you and your mother and brother as his legal heirs to succeed his estates.
