Dear Sir / Madam,
The law is the same across the whole of India.
A1. A Will has to be backed by a Probate from the Court in Haryana;
A2. Yes, since your father has the title to the property, he is legally entitled to register a gift deed of the property to you;
A3. Yes, if she bears the title of the property, she is legally entitled to bequeath the property in the name of only one son;
A4. Yes, your father can make a Will of the property in your name.
