First, get mutation records on all legal heirs and later on prepare relinquish deed. Get this relinquish deed register in the revenue office of sub registrar. 

 

After that show this relinquish deed to revenue department who prepare index papers that property is transferred on one of the brother's name. 

 

You no need to pay any stamp duty on it. Only registration charges.

1. Father's share in House  can be legally transferred in one brother's name by executing a "Release Deed", mutually and jointly signed by ALL the other residual legal heirs of deceased parents. Stamp Duty: 500/- Registration: 1000/- (Check with local registration Agent).

2. Brother staying abroad can give POA to any one over here for the purposes.

CONSIDER THIS:

1. ONLY a proper Stamp Duty paid (500/-) and Registered POA holder is entitled to execute any immovable property transaction before the local registrar of sub-assurances. IF the POA is not registered, THEN the whole proceedings shall remain illegal. POA can be given to "ANYBODY", irrespective of relationships.

2. POA may have strategic clauses and time limitations of the deal (payment terms, validity time period of the POA document ....), for safety of the POA giver.

3. POA can be registered "ANYWHERE" in India, before the local registrar of sub-assurances and shall be valid throughout India. Stamp Duty on POA is not the same as Stamp Duty paid on Sale /Purchase Deed. A Notarized POA is legally infructuous for immovable properties.

4. POA document can be endorsed abroad by the local consulate office and SUBSEQUENTLY stamp duty paid and registered in India, for it to be legally enforceable.

5.  IF person CANNOT go to Registrar office to register POA, THEN Registrar's officer can be requisitioned to visit home, to register POA, on payment of due fees by following due procedure of law.

6. As per a SC judgment, "Immovable Property" CANNOT be sold using a GPA and such GPA and Sale shall remain legally null & void.

If you all desire that this house property which belonged to your deceased father to be transferred to one of the chosen siblings, then the others may execute a registered release deed relinquishing your rights in the property in his favor.

The sibling who is residing abroad, can execute  a POA deed from abroad, duly notarised by  notary public of that country or attested by an official of Indian embassy or an official of Indian consulate situated at that country, authorising one of the siblings back in India to execute the registered release deed in favor of the chosen sibling on his behalf.

After this process  the chosen sibling shall become an absolute owner with clear and marketable title to the property.

Dear Sir,

After the death of your father, if he died without a Will, then the property will devolve amongst all legal heir.
So in case your father did not have a Will, you, your mother and other siblings will be legal heir and the house will devolve amongst four.
We suggest you that through a lawyer prepare the family settlement agreement/ partition deed, wherein you define your share/ percentage and get the same registered before sub registrar .In case of any dispute then you will have to file a partition suit and this will take a longer period of time
You can seek partition. Later brothers and Sisters can give no objection to Partition.
