Please clarify if the property is self-acquired property or ancestral property. If the property is self-acquired, then your father can simply transfer it in your name through a gift deed.
However, please note that the Gift Deed for an immovable property has to be compulsorily registered so as to be valid, and the requisite stamp duty and registration charges paid on the same. The stamp duty costs vary from State to State. Please let me know your state and I will be able to advise you about the Stamp Duty charges.

The Stamp Duty for Gift Deed in Maharashtra is 5% as is the Stamp Duty for Sale Deed. There is actually no method to save Stamp Duty on the property, other than a Will (in which case you need to pay 7.5% probate costs to a maximum of Rs.75,000).
