There are 2 ways to get the property transferred in your name.
1) Apply to the appropriate Court for succession Certificate. This will take about 6 months time as the court has to publish in the news paper if any other claimant is there to claim the property. In case no claimant file any claim the court will issue you the succession certificate and on the basis of this succession certificate you can file the same with the Revenue authorities after getting the probate of the succession certificate through the court. The stamp duty is very nominal depending on the valuation of the property.
2) Get the death certificate of your father and mother. Submit the same to the revenue officer by filling up the form for succession and get the property recorded in your name with revenue authorities but when you sale the property of your father you have to mention how you became the owner. Moreover, it is better to discuss with an capable advocate otherwise you might loose the property if the advocate is not honest.
