Adoption: property ownership transfer

Hi, What is the best way to get ownership of property transferred and secure. In case of adoption of child, is the adoption paper (affidavit) enough to proof as legal hire? For all inherited and acquired/self made property? Without going for registration, is there any other way through with ownership of the property can be transferred to adopted child? Thanks.

Make a Registered WILL in favour of the adopted child. That is the only way in which the property can go to the adopted child (of course after the demise of the person making the WILL) without Registration and payment of Stamp Duty.

If the property is to be transferred to the adopted child (or for that matter in favour of anybody else) during the lift time of the donor, then it is not possible without REGISTRATION and without payment of applicable stamp duty.
