Suppose a person say Mr. Y has some property. After his death, a will not in force, all property is to be distributed among his two children. If one of the children pays a lumpsum amount to the other and takes over all the property, how is capital gain calculated in the hands of the son who has received the lumpsum amt.?  I believe there is capital gain due to relinquishment.
