You have been rightly informed that you, your daughter and mother in law are the legal heirs of your deceased husband.

You dont need to obtain succession certificate to acquire the immovable properties.

Your mother in law can execute a registered release deed in your both favor after which you and your minor daughter shall be the joint shareholders of the properties left behind by your husband.

You may have to obtain legal heirship certificate for transferring all the revenue and other records in your both the the names.

You cannot sell the entire property, your daughter's share of property cannot be sold during her minority without the permission of court, for that you have to apply before the court giving valid and acceptable reasons to sell the property belonging to the minor.

For transfer of the shares in your both the names, you may have to comply with all the formalities that the society may be asking you both to comply with.

You can enquire about the same from the office of the society.

1. if it is your husband's self acquired property then you and your daughter is the legal heir.

2. your father and mother in law are come under tier 2 heir so in your life time they are treated as legal heir of your husband.

3. these properties should be devolved in your name because your daughter is minor.

1. Getting a registered release deed is different to that of procuring a legal heirship certificate, they both are to different subjects, so you may do whatever you feel like.

2. The legal heirship certificate can be obtained from the place where the deceased lived for more than a year prior to his death.

3. The legal heirship certificate is not a declaration, but yo have to apply for it giving the details of the deceased and all those people survived his death and dependents.

The author ties will verify the details and would give a certificate mentioning the actual legal heirs based o their verification report.

If your mother in law has relinquished her rights in the properties by executing a registered release deed, then that should suffice and satisfy the society to transfer the member ship to your name and your daughter's name making you as a guardian to your minor daughter.

The legal heirship certificate may be required to transfer the revenue records and all other records to your names.

Once release deed is executed your MIL has relinquished her share in property

2) you would be absolute owner of property

3) share certificate hasn't been transferred in your name

4) you are at liberty to sell your flat

5) you don't need LHC

The share certificate issued by the society or the property tax receipt on your name are not the title documents.

They do not confer marketable tittle to you.

However based on the registered release deed executed by yor mother in law in your favor, you will become an absolute owner along with your minor or major children, if any.

Besides obtaining a legal heirship certificate in respect of the legal heirs or successors in interest in respect of yor deceased husband's properties would be more more useful to you to solve all other types of hurdles/problems that may arise at a later stage.

For registering the release deed, you have to approach a document writer and not a lawyer.

The document writer would calculate the correct stamp duty payable and other formalities in this regard.

Better skip this lawyer and approach a document writer for the needful to be done on this.

A person who has the title to the land can only transfer the property and if the mother in law does not have any proper title then she can not transfer the same, she will have to get that share of property on her name to transfer it.

Your mother in law can transfer her share in the property by executing a registered gift deed in your favor and also in favor of your daughter jointly provided she is entitled for the share of this property now being transferred by a gift deed.
