What will happen if property owned jointly and one owner dies


10-Mar-2023 (In Property Law)
Property inherited from father registered jointly in the name of mother and two sons. Mother has died without a will. What happens to the ownership? Will it be automatically owned by two sons? Does the property have to be re-registered in the name of two sons? Now if one son dies what happens to the ownership then? We are HINDU

Dear Sir,
according to your query:
Mother and two sons jointly inherited the property after the sad demise of your father. that it is very clear that ownership of the said property has been transferred in the name of three persons jointly ( Mother and two Sons). according to you, your mother died intestate ( without a will) that means the property has two co-owners.
if one son also dies intestate then share of the property goes according to the Hindu Succession Act,1956

Yes property will automatically come in name of both you and in case one brother dies then the remaining brother will be the sole and absolute owner and there is no need to re-register the property after the death any co-owner.
