By signing a relinquishment deed, a legal heir can relinquish their claim to inherited property in favor of other heirs. This is particularly useful in cases where a person dies intestate, and the legal heirs must renounce their shares in the property to another legal heir or co-owner. The transfer of a relinquishment deed can be done with or without consideration, but the parties involved must be co-owners of the property for the transfer to qualify as a release or deed of relinquishment.

Smooth transfer of property ownership : If there are multiple legal heirs to a property, a relinquishment deed can help to transfer ownership smoothly and avoid any disputes or legal issues that may arise
Clarity of ownership rights : By signing a relinquishment deed, the legal heirs can clearly define and renounce their share in the property, allowing other co-owners or legal heirs to have a clear understanding of their ownership rights
Avoidance of legal disputes : By relinquishing their share in the property, legal heirs can prevent any potential legal disputes or conflicts that may arise in the future
Simplification of property division : A relinquishment deed can simplify the process of dividing property among legal heirs, especially in cases where there are multiple heirs with different degrees of interest in the property
Flexibility in property distribution : A relinquishment deed allows legal heirs to distribute the property among themselves according to their wishes, rather than being bound by the intestacy laws

Step 1: Drafting of the Deed: The first step is to draft the relinquishment deed. It is recommended to seek the assistance of a legal expert or a lawyer for drafting the document to ensure that it is legally valid.

Step 2: Stamp Duty Payment: Once the deed is drafted, the next step is to pay the stamp duty. The stamp duty is calculated based on the value of the property being relinquished, and the rates vary from state to state.

Step 3: Notarization of the Deed: After paying the stamp duty, the relinquishment deed must be notarized by a notary public.

Step 4: Registration of the Deed: The final step is to register the relinquishment deed at the Sub-Registrar’s office.
