Dear Sir/Madam, as per your query, your father has purchased the property through GPA holder and it was mutated the name of your father in the revenue records is well and good, it amounts to self acquired property of your father. If your father died without WILL, you and your mother has equal share in the said property as legal heir and it will come your name through pavathi khatha. You have to file application for pavathi khatha to transferred the property rights in view of death of your father. If you want more clarification in this regard, contact me. ... by Chandrashekhar Vithal Jadhav, Advocate & Legal Consultant, Bangalore.

1) in order to confer clear and marketable title to property it had to be through regd sale deed

2) since your father only had GPA he could not have executed further GPA in favour of your mother

3) original seller needs to execute sale deed in your favour

If your father had purchased the property on your mother's name, she is the owner of this property.

Hence she can execute a proper registered settlement deed in your favor.

If the POA agent is not alive now, then the properties shall lie on the principal.

You can take your mother to the registrar office and get the settlement deed executed in your favor.
