Balasubramanian, You have 3 options

01.  You can execute will as told by Mr.Kapil

02.  You can execute Gift Deed in favour of your daughter

03.  In case if any one dies i mean you or your wife [don't mind] the living person will be the owner of the property, after the death of that person your daughter can produce the death certificate of both the property owners and can get the katha in her favour.  It differs from Government employee.  

For 3rd one it's better you consult local advocate, may be that changes from state to state.

Mr.Banjerjee, you can transfer the ownership of the property by producing the death certificate of your mother.

I agree with Mr. Naveen Kumar's views, you may follow them as it appears to be feasible.

If property is jointly owned, both you and your wife can will it to your daughter. When one parent passes away, his or her share goes to the daughter, as per the will, and not to the surviving parent. After both the parents pass away, the daughter automatically inherits both the shares.

However, if you live in a state where there is discounted tax on gift deed, then it is better to gift it to her now itself, as probate of will is a long and cumbersome process.

You both can go for settlement deed favg your daughter with life interest.
