Sir you can make a agreement to sell which should be notarized but if you registered it than it has more value and alsoake a will in which ownership will be given to the person you want to give and it will save the tax as well.

It is beneficial to transfer the property in the name of your wife's mother by way of gift deed. The gift deed will be stamped @ 4% of the total value of consideration. The registration fee will be 1% of the total value + Rs. 100 as stamping charges. The registration of gift deed is mandatory as per registration act. After getting gift deed in the name of your wife's mother you can get the mutation from the concerned Authorities.
Transferring the property in your wife'name will exempt your from tax liability. In case you transfer the property in the name of your daughter, then also you will be exempted from tax, but since she is minor, a guardian has to be appointed. The implications of a guardian is that, in case you want to sell the property, you will have take permission from court until your daughter attains the age of 18.

The best way to transfer the property without paying much is by executing a Will. But there are certain issues: (1) The Will creates a title in future, which can be exercised through probate once the person making the Will passes away (only after death the beneficiary will get the right to sell, mortgage, etc. the property).

(2) Since the persons whom you want to transfer the property are all females; therefore the best way would be to execute a 'Gift Deed' which would require 4% stamp duty and registration cost.
