Upon gift of property by your paternal uncle to your mother (I hope it has been registered and title of property stands in the name of your mother), it has become her personal property. She can gift it to you without any tax implication and your sister will not have any rights in the same. Hence ther is no need for any document or relinquishment or right from your sister.

There is not difference in tax treatment for property transferred under gift or will. However, you have to examine the stamp duty aspect in your respective state. In most of the cases there is substantial stamp duty on gift deeds involving immovable property whereas in will matters there is nominal stamp duty payable on probate but various legal procedures.

The opinion of Vineet is praiseworthy.

Gift is the best way in such circumstances.
