• Transfer of Property.

I am a 27 years old boy. My grandfather (mother's father) i.e. My Nana ji passed away in the year 2004. He owned a house in Delhi Shahdara which is still in his name till today. My grandmother i.e. my nani ji is still alive, they have only one child i.e. my mother. My mother has no brother/sister. My grandmother since she is 80+ years in age, wants to transfer that house from My grandfather's name to my name. My mother does not want to transfer that property in her name and wants it to be transferred to my name directly. 

Please let me know the procedure for the same and also what charges or amount of money will be required for the procedure.

1. Please note that on death of your grandfather the property is inherited by both your mother and her mother in equal share.

2. Now if any of them want to make the other, she can transfer her half share to the other by way of gift deed or deed of relinquishment.

3. Thereafter mutate her name with the local municipal authority.

Dear Concerned,

The easiest is getting Registered Relinquishment deed in your favor from your Grandmother and a Registered No objection from your mother and get the property transferred to your name directly.

Best of Luck

1. Your mother and Naniji are the legal heirs of the said property of your late grandfather.

2. They can jointly execute and register a gift deed in your favour conveying the title of the said property in your name.

3. Since, you enjoy blood relation with the donors, there will be concessional rate of stamp duty to be charged on you. In w.Bengal such person shall have to incur 1/2 % towards stamp duty and 1.5% towards registration fee aggregating to 1.6% of the market value of the said property.

1. On the demise of your grandfather his property devolved through succession on his widow and your mother. Your grandmother who has 1/2 share in the property is free to execute a gift deed in respect of her share. She has to execute a gift deed which has to be registered.

2. The charges will be the fee of your lawyer for drafting the gift deed and the registration charges and stamp duty.

The property let behind by yor grandfather shall devolve equally on yor grandmother and mother being legal heirs of your deceased grandfather.

They both can jointly execute a registered gift deed in your favor for transferring the property to your name.

The cost involved in it would be the government fixed stamp duty, registrations charges and the service charges for the document writer for preparing the document.

The above cost can be enquired locally.
