Property title transfer

Self Acquired Properties of Father and Mother. Both Died Intestate leaving 4 Legal Heirs. Whether a Regd Settlement Deed is better or a Regd Partition cum Release / Relinquishment Deed is better. Properties are not joint and located separately. Going to be shared individually as well. Pls advice

Quick Summary

This discussion explores the best legal method for transferring property titles from deceased parents to their four legal heirs. The core question is whether a Registered Settlement Deed or a Registered Partition cum Release/Relinquishment Deed is more suitable. The consensus leans towards a Partition Deed, especially if heirs agree on individual shares and boundaries, to ensure clear and undisputed ownership for each heir.

Settlement deed may be preferred.

Preffer a partition deed if all 4 LR'S getting equal shares if you guys have no other disputes or else file a partition suit and by filing a compromise petition/joint statements then You can decree the suit accordingly and take delivery of the property so that no one among the Lr's can later claim on this property
