Name cha ge in Property documents


20-Feb-2023 (In Property Law)
My father-in-law expired 3 years ago. He left a Will which is registered. It says that after my death, my wife will be owner of the house (property) and after her death, my 2 daughters will share it equally. Now my mother-in-law is very old and doesn't live in that house. She wants to sell this house so that the amount accrued, could be divided equally amongst both daughter. I would like to know whether this property could be sold just like that or it has to come in my mother-in-law's name first. And if it has to be transferred in her name, what is the procedure. Please guide. Thanks.

Hi. Firstly the contents of the WILL needs to be legally perused to enable us to tender our considered opinion on the same. Mutation is required to be done in your mother in laws name to sell that property. If its a freehold property mutation needs to be applied with MCD and in case of leasehold with DDA. You may consult

There’s no need for renaming it after your mother-in-law. It will be done through the registered will which you have. You can get it sold to anyone without renaming it. For any other legal assistance I am just a call away.
