could be done only by way of gift deed and for that you would need to pay stamp duty at the same rate as in the case of sale deed.

Madam... does this mean that my mother-in-law.. will at all times be 50% shareholder of the house?

kindly correct me if wrong..The gift deed would need to be given by my mother-in-law right?

If your mother in law gifts her share then you and your husband become its equal share holder.

Your mother-in-law will have to transfer her share of the property to U.

It is not a case of reregistration.
Your mother in law has to transfer her share to you by any one of the mode recognized by law. May be by gift or settlement or sale. In Most of the Stamp Acts differentiate between settlement and gift. For eg: in Kerala, the law as it now stands, settlement is less expensive whereas the gift attracts stamp duty on the same rate as a conveyance. settlement is specifically defined.

Kerala has amended the Act and now there is no difference
