Change of ownership to legal heirs

Ji, all the legal heirs i.e. your mother, you and your siblings (including sisters if any) shall come to decide to divide the property and execute a Partition Deed.  The Partition Deed shall be registered at SRO concerned. All should attend SRO for registration.  In most of States the Stamp duty @ 1% to 3% leviable for Partition Deeds.  However check in your state.

@Mr. kavksatyanarayana, Thanks for your detailed steps and the cost involved. Is there any other option without going for the partition  right now?

ie. just transfer the property to all the legal heirs for now and later do the partition? Does that incur double time charges?

Will there be any problems in doing the partition later?

I am asking this because one of my siblings is currently abroad who may not be able to attend the partition @ SRO in the near future. Also, what would happen or what will be the impact if we are not transferring the property or do the partition for now? Does partitiion always attract 1% or whatever % of stamp duty? Is there any other means by which we can avoid this stamp duty and do the partition?

 

One point I missed to update that, in the village office, the properties are now in the names of the legal heirs. ie. the proerty tax is having the names of all legal heirs.

If your sibling are in abroad, they may give Power of Attorney to you or your mother.  consult your own counsel.

If the properties are now in the name of legal heirs then make a settlement deed and do partition amicably and get them registration in the sub registrar office of your area .
