Please get succession certificate from the competent district court of your area/district. Then get an relinquishment deed executed in favour of your mother & registered. Thereafter, submit those two docs to the Company and name transfer shall take place as per the Companies Act. The valuation can only stated after proper valuation is done from registrar office.

Rs. 50000/- for west Bengal....better to deposit the highest court fees to avoid hassels in calculating a little less or the same. In your case you shall have to pay the maximum court fees, i.e. Rs. 50,000/-.

If you r from west Bengal, the maximum court fees is Rs. 50,000/-, in succession matter. It depends from lawyer to lawyer regrading fees. Generally, it is done in contract/single fees.It depend between you & your lawyer. Newspaper publication & other many expenses r there.
