The word New owner is not clear however, Yes, if the widow of a person is not claiming any right or interest in any of her spouse’s property then the remainder of the successors can obtain the succession certificate from the Court.

In event a Widow does not wish to claim the interest in the share of her deceased husband, but wishes to give her share to the Mother of the deceased, it can be given as an by way of seeking succession in the name of Mother wherein wife’s consent is required along with her children.

The further process of handover of property can also be done by way of release deed / gift as per possible circumstances.

In case your father died intestate you your mother and your grand mother will succeed his property having one third share each. In case your mother release her share in favour of your grandmother. Grandmother will become owner of two third share of the property. If you both sell the property in that case new owner wil not required any type of certificate.
