Removal of co-owner's name from the Apartments


14-Feb-2025 (In Property Law)
I own a flat in an apart bldg. My father's name was there as a co-owner in the sales agreement and deed of apartments signed with builder. My father is no more. Since it was me who had purchased the flat in the jt names, my father had left a registered will giving his share of ownership to me. Being an apartment and not a coop housing society, there is no share certificate or no nomination forms filled. Please let me know procedure to get my father's name removed and retain only me as sole owner

Well, in order to be the sole owner of the flat after the death of your father, you have to seek Probate of the Last Will registered by your Father. Once you get the Probate, you have to produce it before the concerned Registrar of Assurances to get your father's share in the flat transferred in your name.

Hi, since there is a will executed by your father, you will have to apply for probate assuming that the property is situated at Mumbai. After obtaining probate you may transfer the said flat in your name exclusively with a legal document
