We are three brothers and have different properties in Delhi NCR including residential and industrial plots. As per our family settlement(unregistered)we all our enjoying our wrights as mentioned in the family settlement dated December 1997. In one of the industrial property leased by DDA my two elder brothers are co-owner but as per family settlement the share of one of the two brothers has to be transferred in my name. I have the possession, irrevocable registered GPA , registered will and other relevant affidavits for the same in my favor. My brother is ready and willing to transfer it in my name. My question is what is the best way to get it mutated in my name. Can it be transferred using family settlement?

A family settlement is honoured by a court of law and it is binding. Register the agreement by paying the requisite stamp duty.
You can also have it transferred in your name but then it would be different.

Deed of family settlement should be duly stamped and registered
2) it can be transferred in your name by execution of registered family settlement deed
3) further relinquishment deed should be executed by brother to relinquish his share as per settlement deed
What is the Stamp Duty paid on registration of family settlement? Also what would be preferred, registration of family settlement or gift deed as the family settlement has many properties mentioned in it. Also can a share be relinquished in the name of a person who was never a co-owner in a property?
Stamp duty is state subject and varies from state to state
2) relinquishment deed can be executed by co owner of his share in property only for benefit of all co owners
3) it cannot be relinquished in favour of person who was never co owner of property
In case of multiple properties you should first divide the properties and then initiate transfer or make a relinquishment deed in case someone wants to relinquish his property in exchange of another.
If he was not a co owner then you can gift him or register the property in his name.
Stamp duty and registration of family deed of settlement is 2% + 1% of the circle rate of the property.
I would advise you to get a gift deed executed since the stamp duty would be much higher for getting family deed of settlement registered containing all the properties.
Share cannot be relinquished in the name of a person who was never a co-owner in the property.
Transfer through Relinquishment deed is the best way.
You get the shares of the property to be transferred in your favour through Relinquishment by legal hiers. Then apply in the Authority for transfer in your name on the basis of Relinquishment deed.
Stamp duty is not applicable in case of Relinquishment in blood relations.
See in case there is already will with you for your share then based on same you can get the property mutated in your favour.
Further family settlement is not required when there is registered will and unregistered settlement.
No the relinquishment can be made in favor of only co-owner.
The unregistered family settlement if not valid in law and cannot be enforced in law.
If you have a will in your favor, then ask them to give NOC for mutating the proeprty to your name and you can enjoy the same as an absolute owner with clear and marketable title after that.
A family settlement deed executed long back cannot be registered at this stage because it can be registered within four months from the date of its execution. Hence yo may have to either get a fresh family settlement deed executed and get it registered. The stamp duty will depend upon the value of the properties involved in the settlement deed.
As far as relinquishment is concerned a person can do so only if he has a right for a share in the property intended to be relinquished.
