My father passed away in an accident two years ago. We want to transfer his property to my mother’s name. Is the process similar to selling it to someone else, like paying stamp duty, or are there different legal steps involved? What would the average cost be for these procedures, and how long would it take to complete?

The process of transferring your father’s property to your mother’s name after his death is different from selling it to someone else. It involves obtaining a succession certificate or probate and registering the property in your mother’s name. Stamp duty is applicable, but the cost and time vary depending on the property value, location, and legal complexities.
