1.Through testamentary succession/Will you can bequeath her property to anyone she chooses.

So let her decide whom to transfer her property.

2. In absence of 1st class heir, her property on death if no Will has been executed will devolve upon her 2nd class heirs like brothers/sisters etc.

Leave the decision to herself only.
