we need to go threw the entire documents. As you said that the matter is in court one has to understand the reason behind the said case. hence once you provide us with the documents we can help you out in buying the said property.

Dear Querist, If a Hindu dies intestate then the wife and all the children (sons/ daughters ) are the legal heirs.
If a will is made then the property will be divided as per the will, but the same is unchallenged.
In your case, Please check the share certificate/ Sale agreement and ask for details of all the son/daughter of deceased. IF required issue a public notice through advocate, write letter to Society seeking details.

Please feel free to contact us, if any further queries.

Regards,
Rakesh V. Misar
