What goes wrong — Punjab and Amritsar specifics
The exemption is notification-based, not statutory
Punjab exempts gifts to blood relatives from stamp duty, but the exemption and its relative list have been varied by notification over time. The position at the date of registration governs, and this is the single most important thing to confirm for a Punjab gift.
Daughters are coparceners in their own right
Since the 2005 amendment and Vineeta Sharma (2020), daughters hold coparcenary rights equal to sons regardless of whether the father was alive in 2005.
Every co-sharer must join or the deed can be reopened
A partition omitting a coparcener or heir is vulnerable to challenge. Identifying the complete set is the substance of the work.
Walled City heritage and narrow-lane titles
Property inside the Amritsar walled city carries heritage controls and very old, fragmented title chains with shared access rights that are frequently undocumented.
Border district land restrictions
Land close to the international border is subject to security-related restrictions on use and construction that survive a transfer.

Every co-owner and coparcener — including daughters, who are equal coparceners since the 2005 Hindu Succession Act amendment and the Supreme Court's Vineeta Sharma (2020) ruling. Leaving out an entitled sharer lets the partition be reopened later.
