1.How to transfer the property in my name

Your brother in law can execute a registered gift deed in your favor with regard to the share of property that belonged to him as well as to that of his deceased wife as her legal heir. Whether there are any children to your sister, if there are any, the children have to give their consent for this transfer provided they are major by age.

2.What is the procedure for the same

Execution of registered gift deed and getting it registered before the jurisdictional registrar' office.

3.Do i need to pay registration fees again.

Yes, the registration fee need to be paid.

Hi, your brother-in-law has to execute release deed in your favour for releasing his right over the property so you will become the absolute owner of the property,

2. You need to pay the nominal registration fee for release deed.

1. Your brother-in-law can execute a gift deed in your favour. Alternatively, a partition deed can also be executed between you and him to transfer his share to you.

2. The stamp duty will have to be paid in both cases.

Your brother in law can execute a deed of release or deed of gift transferring his 2/3 share in your favour so you can become its absolute owner.

Yes you have to pay both stamp duty and registration fee for this.

In Maharashtra stamp duty need not be paid for transferring the properties within the blood relationships however registration fee of Rs. 500/- is to be paid. This has nothing to do with the value of the property. It is uniform. However you may clarify and confirm once again from the local registrar's office.
