Difference between succession certificate and relinqueshment

Hello,

I have below questions:
1. What is the difference between succession certificate and relinquishment deed. What are the legal implications and disadvantage of both.

2. My father died recently leaving behind a floor in Delhi and plot in Noida. What would be the best and most suitable way to transfer these properties in the name of my mother. It is needed in order for her to become complete owner in order to able to sell if needed and also we can apply for mutation in relevant authority. Will the relinquishment deed be enough for it. If not, then what else is needed.

Also, my grandmother is alive. Does her consent also needed for the same.

Thanks,

Amit

After the death of your father your grand mother, your mother and you (you didn't mentioned about your other siblings )are the legal heirs of your father, for legal heirs you have to obtain succession certificate from the civil court and afterwards if you all agree to transfer all the properties in your mothers name then you have to submit your relinquisment deed in favour of her on the procedure of mutation, then after this procedure your mother will become sole owner of your fathers properties and got all legal right over them .
