Question

Can a mother-in-law transfer property to her daughter-in-law? Specifically, can a mother-in-law gift

25-Jul-2024 (In Civil Law)

Could you please guide me on how a mother-in-law can transfer her property to her daughter-in-law? In this case, the son is deceased, and only the daughter-in-law and her three children are living with the mother-in-law in her husband’s parental home. What steps need to be taken to execute this transfer? Additionally, can a mother-in-law gift property to her daughter-in-law, and can a daughter-in-law also gift property to her mother-in-law?

Answer #5

It would be advisable for your wife to make a Will in favour of her daughter-in-law in respect of her share in the property. The gift would involve payment of stamp duty on the market value of the property. As against this stamp duty is not leviable for inheritance through Will. In the circumstance, the making of the Will in favour of daughter-in-law will be a better option.
