Also would like to know if will is valid?

As suggested by Shailesh rates of stamp duty vary from state to state, A.P charges stamp duty at 3% plus registration charges at 0.5% of the guideline value of the property. If the right is to be trfd immediately then gift is the best option, however if you want the right to pass upon on a latter date then a will is sufficient.

In case of gift, your father shall make a gift deed and get it registered by paying the applicable stamp duty which depends valude of the property and locality.
Transfer by way of will is also valid, for which stamp duty is not required.

Answer to 1st query is that GIFT and WILL both options are available.The former is expensive but it transfers ownership spontaneously while the later is cheaper but it can be changed several times by your father.
KIDS from other wed lock have no right of inheritance in your father's property but their mother has the right.KIDS from former wed lock can claim in their father's property.

What after mothers death? Would the property go her kids? Or can we claim for ownership?
Also can she transfer the property to her actual kids when she is alive?
