1. The registered GPA giving you power to transfer her half sahre is enough. once you get that you transfer her half share to any of your family members or sell the same and take the money.

2. Relinquishment deed is also enough and it should be done where the proeprty is situated. The GPA though can be done where she is presently residing.

3.There is no restriction in use of GPA unless such restriction is specifically mentioned in the GPA.

1. GPA will not suffice. Your wife will have to execute a release deed in your favour.

2. The deed has to be registered in the office of the sub-registrar within the jurisdiction of which the property is situated.

3. She has to execute the release deed personally.

4. Get the deed drafted from a lawyer.

1. Yes, with single GPA registered in your favour, you can transfer her title of the property in your favour or in favour of anybody. It will be applicable on all concerned in connection with the said property.

2. Since the property is at Pune the POA and also the deed of conveyance shall have to be registered at Pune.

3. Yes, the said GPA will stand as a valid instrument for you for dealing with her share of the jointly held property including executing and registering a relinquishment deed in your favour. It does not matter if the said Deed in original is with the Bank.

4. You should get it done at the earliest since she might decide to withdraw her said GPA. Moreover, in case of her demise, the said GPA becomes invalid instantly.

5. Your are right. The both the GPA and the Relinquishment Deed shall have to be registered at Pune. The GPA is also required to be registered since as per the Act, all documents including GPA, in connection with transfer of title of properties shall have to be registred.

If the registered sale deed is on the joint names, she may have to either execute a registered gift deed or settlement deed or sale deed. Relinquishment deed or GPA deed may not be legally valid.

So dont risk in getting GPA or relinquishment deed unnecessarily.

if flat is joint names and wife wants to relinquish her rights in flat deed of relinquishment would be valid .

2) deed of relinquishment should be stamped and registered

3) in the alternative your wife can execute gift deed during pendency of court proceedings . it should be duly stamped and registered

4) if you are making payment to her then sale deed is best option

Relinquishment deed shall be made when the property was inherited jointly and not jointly purchased,

transfer of property b GPA is not valid by law.

therefore the other modes available for transfer are the ones mentioned earlier.
