See you all can jointly make a partition deed and same can be registered specifying the share of each person. The partition deed need to be registered before the sub-registrar office.

A share in the property can be transferred only by way of registered deed of conveyance which include deed of gift or deed of relinquishment.

Both these deeds require payment of stamp duty.

Another option is to make a Will and to wait till the death of the maker of the Will.

Execute family settlement deed, family settlement is an agreement between family members, generally made to avoid any court disputes and divide the family property with mutual understanding. A family settlement agreement is made in the same format of a partition deed.

1. There has to be a partition deed executed by all the co-sharers wherein a greater share can be given to you.

2. The partition deed has to be mandatorily registered.

Dear client 

For that you can get the relinquishment deed from other partner upto the share they want to give you in your name.  In which they give up thier rights on your share and after that you can get the property registered on your name with help of relinquishment deed.

The family partition or family arrangement in which the mutually agreed partition or division of properties among the shareholders can be made as agreed by all and the same may be reduced to writing and get it registered to make it more valid and effective.
