Best way to transfer property to a family member?

Dear Querist,

Transfer of rights in property can be done by means of relinquishment deed or by executing gift deed. Both of the deeds need registration. Mere notarisation may create some legal hassle in future.

Dear Ritu,

If your husband wants to transfer the properties in question in order to escape his liability elsewhere, please note he will not be able to escape his liabilities by transferring the same in your name. 

In case the transfer is being done on a normal manner, then it has to be either by way of GIFT or WILL.  While GIFT deed will involve the stamp duty as for a proper sale deed (of course there will be no sale consideration, but the value for the purpose of stamp duty would be the Circle rate fixed by the Government if any) there will not be any stamp duty in case of WILL.  The GIFT will take effect immediately.  However the WILL will take effect only after the death of the person who is making the WILL.

The Gift Deed is required to be registered.  The WILL may or may not be registered.

The immovable property can be transferred by registertation of the deed either it is the sale deed or gift deed or exchange deed and the stamp duty is involved in all those deeds The Will is not required to be registered. But in U.P., the Will of Agricultural Land is compulsorily registrable. The proeprty can not be transferred by notarized deed.

If the property is in the name of the firm, you husband may wiothdraw from the firm and you may enter therein as partner.
