Dear Sir / Madam,

1. You will first need to get the property transferred in the sole name of your father by complying with the prevailing procedure for transfer with the Tehsildar / District Registrar in Pune. You should check with the Tehsildar whether three names can be added onto the title of the property.

2. If the legal heirs of the deceased partner are in Agreement to receive monetary compensation, you should settle them off.

3. Depending upon the period for which your father and his deceased partner held the property, it will attract Capital Gains tax.

Regards,
