I am the legal heir of my Parents flat they havei deceased, now how do I transfer it in my name , received the legal heir letter by the court I reside at New Panvel. I have 4 sister who are also Legal heir but they have given NOC to transfer the flat in my name. What is the procedure can I do it by myself or have to get it done by an agent. also which Cidco office I have to approach, pls tell me the money required and the time period for the Procedure.
Another Query One of my friend told me that when ladies are Legal heir of any property they don't have to pay the stamp duty but my lawyer has charged me a hefty amount for the same what is the procedure and solution for this if I have paid more can I get any compensation from the court . I am from New Panvel

You only have finalized the fee, expenses etc with your lawyer!
You must have asked and your lawyer must have explained the stamp duty charges to you.
You can check the duty paid from value of stamps.
It is not mandatory to file thru an agent.You can file yourself.Usually there are helpdesks also.
You may log on to the authority under whose jurisdiction the flat falls e.g. CIDCO and download the forms/formats, procedure for transfer and also the expense.
A local lawyer, deedwriter etc can also guide you.

Consult another lawyer, if you are not satisfied with your lawyer. You have just paid his fees.

No need of any agent, you can proceed yourself. Visit the office of the CIDCO, find out the procedure and exact department / office dealing with the transfer, Complete the formality and proceed.
Stamp fee can be inquired from nearest registrar office.
