Who is the owner of property if the owner dies without a will
03-May-2023 (In Property Law)
If X has a plot of land and X has two sons and three daughters. Earlier the property was mutated in the name of Sarita. Now, X is dead and has not left any will. One of his sons (say Y) has mutated the property in his name. Is it safe to buy the property from Y without his brother and sisters as witness during the registration of the Property? Is mutation of the property in the name of Y makes him the absolute owner of the property?
Mutation is not amounts to absolute title. It is only a supporting proof of title. The title vests by original document of the property, from where it has passed upon somebody. After death of a property holder, the property passes upon his legal heirs as per heritage law and any legal heir is entitled only for his own share and not of others
