Your father in law can very well execute a settlement deed in favour of the 2nd daughter in law provided he has valid title to the property and also to his grandsons as per his desire and wish.
The stamp duty for this will be 1% On the market value of the property but not exceeding Rs.25000/- and the registration charges will be 1% on the market value of the property subject to a maximum of Rs.4000/-.
