17-Oct-2023 (In Property Law)
Hi, A Parents have two Son's and Six sisters. All land property is on father's name and Father is died before six months. One of sister put a civil case asking shares on Father's property. Because of Civil case varasa is still pending. Now all sister's asking shares from father's property. We two brothers are unable to do anything. The Talati/sub-registrar telling us to bring all sister for signature otherwise all sister names will be added on property and they will be the partly owner of the land. All my sisters are demanding money like 10-20 lakh, which is unable to manage. Please advise is there any law were we can transfer father's property on son's name or mother name with intervention of sister attention. Because all sister are very cruel. What is the procedure for transfer of property from father to son, after death of father? Please advise and your input would save two son and a mother life. Thanking, Bhims

Since your father had died without leaving any WILL, his property will go in equal share amongst his Class-I heirs viz., his widow (i.e. your mother), his children and also his mother (in case she is alive).

First, one has to obtain legal heir certificate from the Tehasildar by submitting a detailed application indicating all the Class-I heirs left behind by the deceased, their age, their relationship with the deceased (i.e. wife, son, daughter, mother etc.). The said Application should be accompanied by the Death Certificate.

After making enquiries, the Tehasildar will issue the legal heir certificate.

On the basis of the said legal heir certificate, the legal heirs have to approach the Authorities for mutation of the property in their name.

However, you want that the property should be registered in your mother's name. For this, all the other legal heirs have to execute a Registered Relinquishment Deed relinquishing their respective shares in the property in favour of your mother. The Relinquishment Deed will involve very small stamp duty and registration fee.

Once such a Relinquishment Deed is registered, then your mother can approach the authorities along with the legal heir certificate and the Relinquishment Deed for getting the property mutated in her name.

Which is better Gift Deed or will?

Tax-wise, a gift deed is usually more advantageous than a will. In India, gifts made between individuals are not taxed. Wills can be subject to stamp duty and registration charges. Gift Deeds are therefore more appealing as they avoid paying extra taxes. 26 May 2023
