First enquire in the society for the agreement, sale- deed. That might give you details of the said flat. The property being in the name of the father the sub- reg. may ask for heirship certificate, or ask whether affidavit of legal heirs will do.

At first you should avoid buying such property, but if you are getting at a very good deal and you wish to buy that property then there are many precautions which you need to take. Give a public notice regarding this property and also take a property search. Also check whether the owner of property has made any WILL before death or has died without WILL, accordingly you need to take necessary steps. Only if the Son establishes his ownership over the property you can sign Sale Deed and also take Indemnity Bond from him. For further assistance you can call me and take my appointment.
