Re: Property

First find out whether your late father made any Will. If there is no Will, in that case his property devolve upon his legal heirs by succession. Thus, your mother, you, your sister and your younger brother will each have 1/4 undivided share in the said property. Your mother alone is not competent to give the entire property to you. At best, she can relinquish her 1/4 share in your favor by executing a Relinquishment Deed. For you to have 100% title to said property, you need to have relinquishment deeds from your sister and brother for their respective 1/4 shares in your favour.

Re: Property

You all are co-sharers in the property being legal heirs of your father.

After the death of your father, the suriving family members will inherit equally.

Re: Property

If your father was Hindu and died intestate, then his property would devolve upon his mother, widow, sons, daughters, sons/daughters of predeceased sons/daughters in equal proportion.

If your mother is Hindu and died intestate, then her property would devolve upon her sons & daughters and sons/daughters of predeceased sons/daughters in equal proportion.
