she can execute a gfit deed in fvaour of her husband for 50%share in property . the gft deed has to be stamped and regd . the stamp duty would be around 2%of value of property .

later both husband and will can make will bequeathing property in name of their children .

it is not advisable to transfer property in name of children when parents are alive . only after death of parents should property devolve on children

Gifting by a registered 1/4 th each to the trios(husband and two sons) and retaining 1/4th with wife can be another way to arrive at desired destination.All shall be co owners having 1/4 th each and on death of father and mother the two sons shall become owner of 1/2
and 1/2 by law of inheritance even without any will.

To avoid any legal complication, it would be better for you to take help of some expert near your place by hiring his services.

It would be adventurous to do on your own.Better
engage a lawyer practicing civil side else risk yourself.Formats are not of use to those
who do not know law and its' application.They help junior lawyers as model only.It is not a copy cat case.Each case requires an unique draft formulated after considering each and every circumstance with the client.

O k. Some legally drafted containing all possibilities will be helpful to ensure all things are taken care of by our learned advocate as knowledge and expertise differ from person to person. So any food draft can guide to ensure all probable items or terms and conditions of gift deed are covered.

Please go with provisions contained in section 122 and 123 of the Transfer of Property act.

I completely agree with Ajay sethi sir and Prabhakar singh sir.

In Andhra Pradesh it is 1% stamp duty for gift deed within the blood relation. Outside blood relation 3% on the govt market value. It differs from state to state. Check up your local sub registrar office for exact stamp duty.

Dear Mr. Lajpat Rai,

The best and cheap way for achieving this objective is to MAKE A REGISTERED WILL in your favour saying that the property will be in your name during your life time and after that it will go to your son(s) in equal measure.

Any other method will involve cost, which is avoidable.
