Registration fees differs from state to state.

Since the property is in Kerala someone from this state can guide you properly as far as stamp duty is concerned.

As per Gharbari.com the stamp duty is 7& on the market value of the property.

Although I do not practice in Kerala but according to my knowledge the stamp duty and registration charges for partition among blood relations is set at Rs.1000/- for stamp paper and 1% subject to a maximum of Rs.25000/- as registration fee. If there any recent amendments to this then a Kerala based lawyer will be able to clarify.

Registration of document

The Non-Testamentary Documents are to be prepared either by the licensed document writer or by the advocates. The document should bear the required stamp duty as per the Kerala Stamp Act 1959. The required registration fee has also to be paid in cash at the Sub Registrar Office at the time of presentation of documents. The Executants, Claimant or the Power of Attorney holder may present the documents. But either the Executants or the Power of Attorney holder should invariably be present for admitting execution of the document at the Sub Registry Offices

1. The amount of Stamp duty required for registering partition deed depends on the circle rate of the property being partitioned which you can ascertain by submitting query sheet before the Sub-Registrar. The concerned sub-registrar will return the said query sheet by informing you the amount of stamp duty and registration fees that will be required for registering the said partition deed. You shall also come to know the current value of your said property as recorded with the Govt.,

2. Engage a local lawyer having expertise in this field and get the partition deed made as per your instruction. After that the said Deed is to be registered by paying the stamp duty, registration fees and the lawyer's fees.

For family property partitions, the stamp duty is fixed to Rs 1,000, irrespective of the value of the land, but still 2% of the land value need to be to government for registration charges. For this purpose, the immediate family is defined as wife, husband, children, brothers, sisters, children and grandchildren.

The process is that you prepare a partition deed through a document writer, get it registered by paying the applicable fee in the registrar's office within the limits where the property situate.
