This property was acquired by mother with her savings. She is alive. Nair laws are matriarchal mothers property passes down to daughter. My mother wants to write it in favor of sisters daughter.

Apparently it seems that the Lady can dispsoe her self earned/acquired/absolute property in her life time in anyone's favor, by a valid/registered deed.

All the succession laws etc shall come into effect only if your mother doesnt leave a Will behind after her demise. But since she is alive and the property is bought from her own savings she is the absolute owner and can bequeath the property to anybody she likes which can even be her granddaughter that you mentioned. She can do this through a WILL OR even a Settlement deed without or with life interest or a Gift deed. But a Will can still be contested in court.    Please consult  a reputed lawyer in person to get all possible scenarios.

It is felt that contentions that you have posted may not be applicable.

Online discussions have it’s own limitations.

It shall be appropriate to get proper legal opinion from a very able local senior counsel of unshakable repute and integrity specializing in revenue/property/civil matters and well versed with applicability of customs of your community.

This may cost some FEE but can defend long term interest.

If your counsel(s) opine contrary to your contentions then look for amicable recourses and try affectionately with mother.

She may decide to gift her estate by her sweet will to tohers as well.
