Transfer of property to the legal heirs


25-Feb-2023 (In Property Law)
My father expired a couple of months ago. Since the death was sudden, there is no will. He was the owner of the house in which we are living. I don’t have any siblings. It is just me and my mother. I also have my grandmother (father’s mother) alive, but we have not been in touch with her. How will the property be divided? Will my grandmother also have a share? How should I transfer the entire property to my mother’s name?

Since your father died intestate and there is no will, the partition will be done according to Hindu Succession Act. You, your mother and grandmother, all three are eligible to 1/3rd share of the fathers property.

Yes, your grandmother also has share in the property.

For transfer of property in your mother’s name, a relinquishment deed has to be prepared and signed by you and your grandmother. It should be duly stamped and registered.
