For transferring the property to your name, it is not necessary that you should approach court for this purpose.Tehsildar's office to transfer the entire property to your name on the basis of the NOC given by other legal heirs, and a legal heirship certificate could have been attached application.
There is no need to pay 7% of property value as stamp duty before court for such transfer.
You may clarify the details from some other advocate too or have a second opinion from a different advocate
