A man has died without making any will. After his death his wife has written to the municipality bequeathing her contribution of the house to her only daughter. Without registering the ownership of the house in her name can the daughter arrange mutation in her name ? Will she be the rightful owner of the house without registration ?

She is only daughter, she can do it after her mother if she expires intestate.
Otherwise registered relinquishment deed / gift deed required.
