Whether it is a sale, a gift to family, an inheritance, or a family settlement, PropResolve handles your property transfer in India end to end: title check, deed drafting, stamp duty, sub-registrar registration, and mutation.

Transfer Property Ownership the Right Way
A valid property transfer is more than signing papers. Ownership of immovable property passes only when the correct deed is executed on the right stamp value and registered at the jurisdictional Sub-Registrar office, in line with the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. Our team verifies the title, drafts the deed to match your state stamp duty rules, and completes registration so the new owner record is clean and dispute-free.
When You Need a Property Transfer
- Buying or Selling: Executing a sale deed to transfer ownership for a sale price.
- Gifting to Family: Transferring property to a spouse, child, or relative through a gift deed.
- After a Death: Moving an inherited property to the legal heirs through a will or succession route.
- Family Settlement: Dividing ancestral or jointly owned property through a settlement or partition deed.
- Co-owner Exit: Releasing one co-owner share to another through a relinquishment deed.
- NRI Transactions: Managing a sale, gift, or inheritance transfer from abroad without travelling.
Ways to Transfer Property in India
The right instrument depends on who is transferring to whom, and why. A sale deed moves property for a price, a gift deed moves it without money, and a relinquishment, partition, or settlement deed divides rights among co-owners or heirs. The table below summarises the common methods of property transfer in India.
| Method | What It Is | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Sale Deed | Transfer of ownership in exchange for a sale price | Buying or selling property |
| Gift Deed | Voluntary transfer without money, out of love and affection | Gifting to a spouse, child, or relative |
| Relinquishment Deed | One co-owner releases a share to another co-owner | Co-owners and heirs settling shares |
| Partition Deed | Division of jointly held property into separate shares | Splitting ancestral or family property |
| Settlement Deed | Transfer to settle property among family members | Family settlements and trusts |
| Will or Inheritance | Transfer to heirs after death, followed by mutation | Passing property to the next generation |
