I don't see a reason as to why you should desire to do that. I would suggest to retain the original information in the records of the child, which is factually and legally correct. Demise of her mother wouldn't adversely affect her in any manner. If you decide to go ahead in any case, then formal adoption by the step mother is required. A simple deed wouldn't suffice. The adoption is required to be made according to the mandate of JJ Act.

No adoption deed is required as the child is the biological daughter of the father. The father may submit an affidavit attested by Judical magestrate, along with relevant documents, before the Registrar for correction of the mother’s name in the birth certificate.

no, there is no requirement of adoption deed. just make an application on the name of manager can be press. along with that, he required a newspaper publication stating change of mother's name of the child. other than that you need a affidavit at tested from first class magistrate execut and document through such as birth certificate, Aadhar in support
