My Father expired recently He solely owned a property which he leased out through a registered agreement for a period of 10 years in 2008 The agreement expires in 12 months approximately I am the sole legal heir and have obtained an LR certificate. The lease agreement clearly states that the lessor is only my father and there is no mention of legal heirs Questions: 1) Is this lease agreement still valid? 2) Is this agreement binding on me as a legal heir? (there is no mention of it in the agreement) 3) Can I evict the Lessee based on invalidity? 4) I need the premises back . what are my options?

Hello,
A lease is inherited by the legal heirs, however if you wish to evict the lessee then you need to file an eviction suit in the appropriate court of law. The lease does not become invalid per se on expiry of your father.
Regards
This lease agreement is very much valid
You as a legal heir are bound to honour the agreement
No you can't do that
You have to follow due process of law
