Muslim personal law - gift deed

Hi Law Experts,

My father has piece of land in my native and he wants to partition among all my brothers including me. We thought to get it transferred and follow the normal blood relation registration act by paying the required registration charges(which is quite high). My father knows a lawyer in my native town, Lawyer suggested instead of paying high registration charges you can get it gifted as per Muslim Personal Law. Lawyer said that this process is called as "GIFT CONFIRMATION DEED" and it will be equivalent to normal registration.

Can somebody in this expert group help me in understanding the full process(may be sharing some web site links). Also suggest whether it's legal or not and It'll not create any problem in future for all of our brothers.

Expecting quick responses.

Million thanks in advance.

the gift deed itself does not take effect till the confirmation of deed was not executed and registered. As theconfirmation deed itself was not the gift deed, but it was only acknowledgment ofconfirmation, this document will take effect only when it was executed and registered

Now there is judgement of SC that Muslim gift deed is not required to be registered even if it is written one.
