Relinquishment deed cannot be executed to transfer 50 per cent of share in favour of wife 

 

Once aunt and uncle relinquish share your father would be absolute owner of property 

 

they can execute gift deed in favour of wife out of natural love and affection

Relinquishment of rights for the rightful share  in the property can be made only to the other shareholders of the proeprty that is likely to be inherited by all the shareholders.

In your case since your father is not able to meet the full consideration amount to one of the shareholders  who is willing to relinquish his rights in exchange of consideration amount, he can for now borrow the amount from your wife in the form of loan agreement. Once the entire property is transferred to his name, he can transfer the 50% share in the property to your wife's name by a registered sale deed in lieu of the loan amount that has been obtained by him through the said loan agreement.

A single deed of relinquishment where your aunt does not get any monetary benefit and your uncle gets a certain sum will serve the purpose. There is no need for two separate deeds. After it gets registered your father becomes the absolute owner and he may then very well settle 50% of his share in your wife's name.

1. The Relinquishment of share in the property can only be done in favour of other co-owner/s of the property.

2.  In the instant case, the share of 1/3rd each by uncle, aunt and your father can only be relinquished between the above three persons only. Hence Relinquishment Deed can't be executed in favour of brother's son and daughter-in-law.

3.  However if your uncle and aunt execute a registered Relinquishment Deed in your father's favour, thereby your father will become sole owner of the property. Afterwards, your father can gift the property to you through a registered Gift Deed.

4.  A single Release/Relinquishment Deed will suffice, wherein your uncle and aunt execute and relinquish their individual share in favour of your father.

5.  Then your father has to arrange for mutation of his name, as sole owner, in the revenue records, like MR Book, RTC, etc.

6.  After this procedure, your father can gift the property to you. Therefore, all the concerned have to visit Sub Registrar's Office more than once, on different days.

Dear Client,

A relinquishment deed is valid if it contain explicitly the statement of both the parties who is giving up their rights. You can get the deed registered on same day.

Thank You.

A single relinquishment deed can be executed jointly by both the shareholders in favor of the chosen single shareholder.

The consideration amount received by each can be mentioned against their respective names. 

There's no ambiguity or anomaly in it.

- Yes, they can release their respective share in the property if the property is undivided. 

- But, if the property is properly divided and the property will be considered as their self acquired property .

- Hence, if the property is undivided then legally they can only release their respective share in the name of other legal heirs and not your wife. 

- In case of divided property , they can registered gift deed or a sale deed .
