OKies...actually there r 2 things u can do.

To save money, get your dad to the land office to transfer his name to whoever. You do not need any lawyers in this..but the process can take up to 1-3mths and incase touchwood u know wat, the process cannot continue if it happens be4 the transfer.

Fastest way is to get him to write a will immediately. But this is expensive because, you need to pay for will writer, lawyer fees, etc and the amt might come up to few thousands.

But u better ask him to do either of these, because if he dont, then your relatives also can claim the hse, gotto pay tax to gomen if not mistaken and alot of headaches la. Process also takes very long.

Will involve stamp duty ark? Coz my dad's fren just transferred his house to his son few years back tho, only need to transfer name woh. I think it was couple of 10 bucks or hundreds. I think transferring name from parents to children is not the same as selling transfer??

So johnsonm, if lets say the property is a joint name where 1 died but left a will to give haf the property to his children while the other is still alive, no stamp duty involved? What about lawyers fees? Or can just go land office to execute the will?

Xstorm, however i m not sure about this coz this was wat told by my dad to me last time. He might have misunderstood his fren too. And ya...sorry forgot to mention about the complications of title transfer if there is still loan involve. Just write a will la.

xtorm, my condolences too

johnsonm, what do u mean by "go to the land office where your house is, and they can transfer everything for you, including bank account."?
The land office can kautim for u without a will?
