2) If anything unfortunate happen to his mother and property get automatically transfer to his name (because he is the only son) what will be the tax implication?

If the property is transferred in the name of his son then capital gain liability would arise in the hands of mother. But if the property is transferred in the name of son by way of will then the transaction would not be regarded as transfer thus would not be liable to Capital Gain Tax.
Alternatively , mother may gift the property to her son, this tax planning will not attract Capital Gain tax . However, stamp duty may be levied by the state Govt upon such trabsfer by way of gift
