Procedure for transfer of title to legal heir in Inherited property


19-Jul-2023 (In Documentation Law)
A freehold house is co-owned by mother and daughter. The house was inherited by them in equal share from the father after his death. The daughter is the only child of her parents. Now the mother has died leaving no will behind. The daughter being the only child is clearly the sole legal heir. Please advise how do we proceed to get the full house in the daughter' s name. What papers have to be prepared and where have we to apply. How much time will it take.

. The query is lacking in details as to the nature of the property owned by your parents. Was it jointly owned by both your parents, or the ownership thereof was with only one of them prior to their demise?

2. Since there is no one else in your family and your parents died without making a will the ownership of the property in question now vests in you subject to the nature of the property.

3. You have to get the property mutated in your name by enclosing the death certificate of your parents, ration card and your own birth certificate. Once mutation is granted you will assume the absolute ownership of the property.

4. If you apprehend any legal challenge to your ownership in future by any of your relatives then obtain a declaration of your ownership from the court.
