LEGAL HEIR CERTIFICATE FOR OWNERSHIP TRANSFER/ SALE OF DEAD MOTHER


11-Feb-2023 (In Property Law)
Hello,nMy mother has a property in Kottayam, Panachikkadu panchayat. She is a Hindu and she expired 5 months ago and her death certificate and Adhar card address belong to Vasai Municipality, Maharashtra. My father also a Hindu passed away in 1983. I am the only child (daughter) and I need to either get the ownership transferred to my name or I need the certificate to prove that I am the only legal heir, to facilitate sale of property. Kindly note that both me and my mother never resided in Kerala on a permanent basis. My mother used to reside in Vasai Municipality, Maharashtra and I am residing in Navi Mumbai Municipality. Can you kindly guide me about the documents required and the process and cost and also the exact location from which I need to apply (Maharashtra / Kerala)

Hi
you have to apply Kerala itself for getting legal heirship certificate. In order to get the same, you have to apply to village office with the death certificate of yours and your father along with a notarized declaration. your I'd card is required.. there after the same will be transferred to Taluk office . thereafter gazette publication has to be made. after completion of all the above formalities, you will get the heirship certificate. on getting the same you have to take certified copy of title deed and then again it has to be submitted with relevant land records and heirship certificate for effecting mutation of the property. then it will be mutated in your name and you can transact with the same.
