01 May 2009 Since she is daughter in law you can transfer by way of a gift deed. The stamp duty charges will be around Rs.1000/- and please add a clause that they are taking care of him and because of love and affection on them and reciprocity shown by them has led him to give his wealth to them.

The other alternate is by way of will which will pass on to her after he reaches almighty.

If you transfer for a certian cost then it will be a problem for you. Because the local authorities will charge stamp duty on market value of the property.
