Yes, if the property is self earned and is not ancestral in nature then the same can be given to the male heirs without even intimating the female heirs

Since 2005,the daughter by birth are considered as coparceners thereby entitled to inherit the ancestral property on par with the son. Such transaction will be invalid and can be challenged.

1. The title holder of the property can register a gift/settlement deed in favour of any body he feels like including his only male heir.

2. The said deed is required to be registered by paying the required stamp duty and registration fee.

The law stipulates that he can convey the title of his property in favour of anybody he wishes to by registering the deed of conveyance and for establishing this you shall require no Judgement.

Yes, this can be done.

No it cannot be done. Female legal heirs have as much right in ancestral property as male heirs, after the 2005 amendment to the Hindu Succession Act. Moreover, no one can transfer a property on the strength of a patta alone.

Yes he can very well transfer the inherited property which is considered to be his own and absolute property by registered settlement deed or registered gift or sale deed.

The inherited or ancestral property can be settled but the share of women in the same can't be ignored.
