Each and every above ways, except succession, requires a document to establish or evidence the transfer of property. The document which confers title on the claimant is called title deed. For example the deed by which a person sell his property to another, then the deed is called sale deed.

  1. my father made a property settlement WILL to my brother. My brother has mortgaged it in a bank. Now he wants to sell it. Can he transfer the property to me by settlement or gift deed, and i am ready to take up the loan, and even the bank is fine with it. Please clarify if this attracts any stamp duty charges in Chennai. If yes, please let me know the charges for it. Advance thanks for the suggestions.
