The property is belonging to your father, after the demise of your father all the legal heirs are become the absolute owner of the property and have a share in the property.

2. Now you want to release your right, then you have to execute release deed before the Sub-Registrar in Pune in favour of your brother or mother.

3. If you unable to travel then execute General Power of Attorney in favour of your mother or brother to represent on behalf of you for executing the Release deed.

4. Once you execute release deed you can't claim your share in the property.

1. It is not an inherited property if your father died intestate.

2. You can execute a GPA in favour of your brother to authorize him to execute the relinquishment for and on your behalf. By doing this you can avoid personally travelling to Pune to register the relinquishment deed. The said GPA will have to be registered before the sub-registrar.

3. In the absence of a relinquishment deed from other heirs your mother could not have transferred the entire property to him. So she also needs to make a deed to relinquish her share.

4. Once the relinquishment deed is executed and it is unconditional it will be irrevocable.

5. Get the deed drafted by your lawyer. The stamp duty will have to be paid in accordance with the prevailing law in the state.

6. Litigation is most unlikely after the shares are relinquished unconditionally.
