Often people get children registered while buying property. Somebody names his elder son. So someone is small, then some wife’s name. The father has a legal right to make his purchased property in the name of any son or family member.

Now the question comes that if the house has already been registered in the name of the elder son and the father now wants to give him to the younger son, is it possible? If yes then what is the legal method for it and what is its process. Let us tell you.

Indian law gives the option of gift deed. If the father is alive and the property is under his control, then he can transfer the house to the younger son through a gift deed. For this, stamp duty and registry fees have to be paid. This method is considered the easiest and practical.

The second way is to sell. If the father wants, you can register the house in the name of the younger son even after taking the price of the name. However, this process is considered more expensive than the gift deed. That’s why people rarely adopt it.

But if the registry of the house is completely named after the elder son and the father himself has given up the ownership. So without the consent of the elder son, the younger son cannot become the owner. It is important to understand this because this often causes disputes in families.

That is, if the property was purchased in the name of the elder son and the elder son does not want to transfer him, then the father has no option to make him the property in the name of the younger son. Therefore, it is important to take care of this while getting the property name.
