Settlement deed between sisters

A Property belongs to a person(let us call A) (anchestral house converted to flats 3 out of 4 flats occupied by he and his 2 brothers,1 occupied by the builder, UDS executed through sale deeds). 

Now he wants to settle the property to A's wife's(B) sister's(C) daughter(D). Plan is as follows: A will settle the property to his wife(B) through settlement deed. In turn B will settle to her sister(C) through another settlement deed with life interest of A & B. 

Why are we doing it this way instead of writing directly. Of course to save, Stamp duty & reg. fee payable. (Instead of 7%+4%= 11% we will incur only 1%+1%, 1%+1% total 4%)

Questions:
1. If C dies first, who will be the legal heir, daughter of C or will it reverse?
2.  Is percentage  stamp duty (1%) & Reg. Fee(1%) for Settlement deed between married sisters specified applicable?

3. Can B's brothers raise any dispute?

It is for closely known person, he wants to keep names anonymous. As he believes some of his family members are in this forum and wants to keep it anonymous.
