Can father in law transfer a property to daughter in law.


24-Dec-2023 (In Property Law)
Hi sir. In my sister family there is a property transfer doubt. Father in law is ready to transfer one of the properties to daughter in law. His mother is written WILL for that property as "this property goes to my son, if he is not used(sale, settlement) it goes to my grand son)". But he wants to transfer this property to daughter in law instead of son. Which option is better and how much amount need for transfer this property to his daughter in law. If settlement means how much amount we have to pay for registration and stamp duty.

The property on the name of mother in law shall have to be transferred only by her to her daughter in law and not by father in law.
If she decides to transfer this property to her daughter in law she can execute a registered settlement deed in her favor.
Once the property is transferred by this mode, any will written earlier on this shall be automatically cancelled.
As far as the stamp duty is concerned, it is a state subject and differs from one state to another, you may enquire about this with the local registrar's office.
