Can I sell property which is in father's (expired) name.


22-Jan-2023 (In Property Law)
I am one of the five sisters and one brother. My parents and brother have expired. We have a house where my brother was staying with his family. After his death his widow shifted to a new house. Now all have agreed to sell the said plot to a promoter. My father’s name is there as the owner of the plot. Relevant documents are also in his name. There is no mention of our name. What steps we have to take before we can talk to the promoter? What are the prerequisite that we should fulfil before starting a dialogue with the promoter? Kindly guide us giving all the details. I am a hindu. Regards

Mam,
1. Check is there any will made by your father.
2.If no then make testamentory application before honorable court wherein you need to disclose all your movable and immovable property and as well as all legal heirs. Once court pronounce its verdict, thereafter execute testamentory certificate and same need to be dispatc before appropriate housing developing authority such as BMC or Mada and then you can put forth your word with promoter regarding above said concern.

If the plot was not transferred to any one then all of you need to mutate your names on the record of that plot/building. After that you will be able to deal with the promoter or If the promoter agrees you can directly deal with him by executing an affidavit.
