Gift land from sister to brother-within the family(both are unmarried)


21-Jul-2023 (In Property Law)
Hi, Need your advice. My mother and sister(unmarried) stay in Bangalore and I have given money to them, from which my sister has bought 30x40 site. Now she wants to give the site a gift to me. Question 1 - Is this (gifting land property to brother, within the family) legally possible? As per http://dpal.kar.ic.in/.%5C34%20of%201957%20(E).pdf [28. Gift-instrument of,- not being a settlement (No. 48) or will or transfer (No.52) 2[(b) Where the donee is a member of the family of the donor Explanation: Family in relation to the donor for this purpose means husband, wife, son, daughter, daughter-in-law and grand children]2]1 There is no mention of brother and sister, so my sister gifting me 30x40 site legal?. Am I looking at it wrong or is there any document to support? Question 2 - Can my sister gift the land to our mother and then mother pass it to me thru will. Is this possible and legal? Please help with these questions.

You can get the gift deed from your sister through the regd gift deed. It is legal. There is no need for gifting to your mother and then a will to you. Instead you can get gift deed done to you directly. For further clairifications you can revert back to us.
