A nominees is merely trustee of legal heirs.

If names of all the legal heirs are recorded by the Society as owners of the flat or shares, then it will not amount to transfer.

No, it will not attract any stamp duty etc. If other legal heris are to be included as co-owners, they will enjoy that right by virtue of inheritance.
