Can mother gift property solely to one legal heir?

After my father's intestate death, we—his three legal heirs (1 male and 2 females)—signed a release deed giving our shares to our mother. Now that the property is fully in her name, can she legally gift it to only one heir?

Yes, your mother can legally gift the entire property to any one heir, as she now holds 100% ownership through release deeds. No one can object since it’s her absolute right as the owner. The gift should be registered legally through a registered gift deed to avoid future disputes. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
