My wife’s father gifted a property in Chennai to her through a settlement deed. Sadly, both my wife and her father have passed away. My son and I are the legal heirs to this property. We want to give this property to my wife’s brother, as a gesture of love and respect for her memory, without any financial exchange. How can we legally transfer the property to him? Would my brother-in-law need to pay stamp duty to receive this property?

As legal heirs, you can transfer the property to your brother-in-law through a registered gift deed. Your brother-in-law would need to pay stamp duty based on the market value of the property as per the applicable rates in Tamil Nadu.
