Legal heirship to a property whose owner is deceased without will


11-Jul-2023 (In Property Law)
There is a property which was bought by my father and registered in the joint name of my father and mother. I am their only child. My father also has a younger brother. Also after the untimely death of my father, I have changed the property to my mother's name and my name jointly in all municipality and village panchayat records. My query : 1. As this is not a inherited property, does my uncle have a share in this property? 2. Do we still need an NOC from him for sale of the said property. Religion : Hindu Brahmin

Your uncle do not have any right in the property and therefore no need of any NOC from him for any type of transactions. Only thing to do is to mutation (change the name in the village records) which you have already done.

What is the reason for this query? The property being self earned, you and your mother are the only legal heirs of your late father. your uncle cannot have any rights or share in this property....
