• Father purchased property registered in 2000, but no mutations done at that time now he died

My father had purchased a property in the year 2000, in Loni, Ghaziabad. 
At that time he haven't applied for mutation, I don't know what is the reason behind that.
Last year He expired, leaving behind family members of
Wife, 1 Daughter, And 1 son.
Now my Question is.
1) Which deed We have to prepare for transfer of ownership? Is Gift Deed the right option or we have to sign Relinquisment Deed Compulsorily?
2) Is the Stamp Duty on Relinquisment Deed and Gift Deed Same in Ghaziabad Uttar Pradesh?
3) Is the Stamp Duty on Gift Deed equal to buying a property at Circle Rate?
4) Can this property get directly mutated in the name of my Mother as Both of us the children want the registration of property in my Mother's name? Note - property is not mutated in my father's name yet, the name of seller of land in 2000 is still recorded as onwer of the land in up land record.
5) What will be the procedure for mutation, after Relinquisment Deed or Gift Deed?
6) Is it permissible to apply for mutation after almost 20 years?

Kindly help me in this as it is creating lot of confusion for us.

When property is not registered in your fathers name so you have file suit for declaration court against vendors or their legal heirs after that you get mutation in the joint names of you three. You are declared as owner on the principle of adverse possession also. Discuss

If a person does not protest someone illegally occupying his property for 12 years, then the squatter would get ownership rights over that property, the Supreme Court has ruled.

 

A bench of Justices R K Agrawal and A M Sapre said if a person proved actual, peaceful and uninterrupted possession of a property owned by another for more than 12 years, “a case of adverse possession can be held to be made out which, in turn, results in depriving the true owner of his ownership rights in the property and vests ownership rights of the property in the person who claims it”.

 

However, the bench put in a caveat by ruling that such a person (squatter) must necessarily first admit ownership of the true owner over the property and make the true owner a party to the suit before a court for claiming ownership over the property through adverse possession.

This ruling came in a case where a Muslim man had claimed ownership over a property through adverse possession in Jalgaon of Maharashtra. He had attempted to advance the plea of adverse possession to claim ownership rights over the property, which was inherited by a Muslim woman after the death of her father.

 

Setting aside a Bombay high court order in favour of the man, the SC bench said, “When both courts below held and, in our view rightly, that the defendant has failed to prove the plea of adverse possession, then such concurrent finding of fact was unimpeachable and binding on the HC. The HC erred fundamentally in observing that it was not necessary for the defendant to first admit the ownership of the plaintiff before raising such a plea.”

In other words, whether Article 65 of the Act only enables a person to set up a plea of adverse possession as a shield as a defendant and such a plea cannot be used as a sword by a plaintiff to protect the possession of immovable property or to recover it in case of dispossession

You don't require any deed for transfer the property, your father purchased the property but could not mutuated it whatever reason, after his death, now you are owner of that property as per sale deed which is in favour of your father. Now, you have to apply for mutuation proceedings, for what, you apply through application alongwith sale deed and other documents related to death of your father and other documents i.e. Rashan Card, Voter Card, Adhar Card etc etc .

Relinquishment deed and gift deed are two different mode of transfer of property, by Relinquishment deed, you just relinquish your rights related to particular property and by gift deed, you just gift that property to the receiver. Gift can be given to anyone but relinquishment deed can not executed to the family member who have share in particular property. There is no difference in stamp duty of relinquishment deed and gift deed.

 yes, you have  to pay same fees on gift deed equivalent to circle rate.

Yes, the property can be mutuated in the name of your mother, the process already described in the first para.

First you can perform Mutation papers with the help of sale deed registered by your father in he year 2000.

 

Later get transfer mutation papers from your father's name ti all legal heirs.

 

If the sale deed is registered and possession of property with you then no need to worry about it.

 

First get the property inherited on legal heirs name, later on decide it retain it on whose name accordingly that prepare relinquish deed.

No deed will execute. Non mutation dose effect title. On your father demise, his property inheirted by 1/3 each in all three. Apply for Lgeal heir certificate. Than apply for mutation in joint name enclosing copy of death certificate, LHF and sale deed through which father purchased the property.

If want to transfer in sole ownership in mother than have to execute release deed, stamp duty will levy.

Mutation can be done any time and along with above documents, copy of release deed will also enclose than land will directly transfer in your mother name.

Dear sir,

By what way the property is purchased by your father if it so by sale deed then you can approach for inheritance certificate by submitting documents of sale deed , khata and death certificate of your father and get the property transferred into the name of your mother as well if want it can be transferred equally amongst all the 3 members ie mother and u both sister and brother; 

Gift deed nor relinquishment deed is not the right option as your father is expired it should have been done during the period when he was alive ; 

Here when gift deed is not a valid document to transfer property question of stamp duty wont arise; 

Yes it can be mutated to your mother name if sale deed is registered and genuine nothing to worry it can be transferred to your mother name; 

Yes you have to apply for mutation its mandatory;
