Transferring Joint Property In My Name | Vkeel - Free Legal Advice

Anirban Sarkar

Siliguri

Me and my father purchased a home in 2011. I told him to include my name in main deed. In the house deed, both our names are written. Then mutation was done in settlement and municipality. In settlement, the home and land was divided into two parts by them and they wrote half in my name and half in my father's name. Municipality also has both our names as taxpayers. How can my father transfer entire property in my name as some people might claim his part after his death. I don't want to take trouble and want to do this when my father is alive. I want change in main property deed and settlement land papers only. What is the process. My unemployed uncles from village are threatening to demand share on our home. I know they may not be successful, but I want entire property in my name and be in peace.

Hi, Half of the part of the property is yours, you have legal title over it. The other part of the property can be transferred to you through a registered sale deed wherein your father may or a gift deed wherein your father voluntarily transfers all the property in your name. This is the legal course that can be taken at the time when your father is still alive. However, even after his death, you will have primary succession over his property, the rest minor property can be transfered to you through voluntary giving up of the property by the other legal heirs. However, it is best to resolve the succession and legal rights over the property which he is still alive. thank you, do reach out in case you need assistance in drafting.

Hi, your father can execute a deed of gift in your favor and you will get ownership immediately, another option is Will wherein you will get the ownership upon the death of your father. Regards Adv. Noel D'Souza

There are three ways in which you can legally transfer his share - 1. you can get a sale deed done for his share. This will be slightly costly as you will have to show sale consideration in white and also pay for registry charges. 2. your father can give his share to you by a registered gift deed. For this certain charges will have to be paid depending on the state you are in. 3. your father can make a registered will where he bequeaths his share of the property to you after his death. This will be the most cost - effective option.
