1. Best option is to go for either Relinquishment or Gift Deed.

2. The reason for the best option is, the change of ownership, takes place immediately when once the deed is executed in your favour, during the lifetime of your mother itself.

- Relinquishment Deed is a suitable option . 

- As, Relinquishment deed is a legal document, where a person legally gives up or releases his legal rights of the the property being relinquished in the name of some other person. This is one of the modes of transferring rights of an immovable property.

- It is irrevocable even when the one who is relinquishing without being compensated as well.

-  it needs to be signed by both parties, stamped and registered. 

- As per The Registration Act, relinquishment comes under Section 17 which means it has to be compulsorily registered at a sub-registrar's office.

- Stamp duty will be applicable only on the portion of the property that is relinquished.

 

Good luck and dont forget to rating Positively.

You can make quit claim and transfer her title rights on your name, plus you don't have to again registration and stamp duty charges like gift deed.

 

Here relinquish deed won't be applicable because it's jointly selfowned property and not inherited.

Your mother can transfer her share through gift deed to you.

2. You can register a gift deed before sub registrar office. 

Gift best option as no consideration is involved and value for stamp duty is taken on least government circle rates.

Either Gift Deed or Relinquishment deed can be executed by your mother.

Release Deed may be executed between your mother and you as you both are joint owners of the property. This is the best option because, in the sale deed that was executed between you and your mother at the time of purchase, definitive shares 50% each has not been demarcated, hence any other conveyance deed is ruled out and not possible.

Release deed between family members a fixed stamp duty has to be paid during the time of registration, which is cheaper than Gift Deed, relinquishment or partition deed.

Your mother can transfer her share in the property to your name either by a registered settlement deed or by a registered gift deed. 

Relinquishment deed or partition deed will not be applicable to this situation.
