1)whether her parents left any will ?

2) whether probate applied for in case of will ?

3) if her parents died intestate has she obtained letters of administration for the property from HC . Probate / LA is no mandatory in delhi

4) original documents of title

5) if it is a flat in cooperative society NOC from society

6) receipt of payment of latest property taxes bill

If she's the sole Legal heir to her mother, this property automatically devolved upon her after the death of her mother. Despite this, just to be sure insist that she produces a court issued Succession Certificate to the effect that she's owner of the property.

Also, seek documents like the original sale deed (in mother's name), mother's death certificate.

Also, engage a local Lawyer to conduct a title verification of the property and ask him to pull out the chain deed for past 30 years at least. This way, you could be sure of the title of the seller.

If you need any help as regards to the title such or a lawyer to do the same, do let me know.

Thanks,

Hello,

Please check as to who has the good title of the property. Also get the details (of last 36 years) of the land from of registrar office to check that it is encumbrance free.

Also she can only sell you the land when she will have the land in her name, please check and then only proceed to purchase the land.

Let me know if I can be of further help.

Regards

1. Well, it would be very difficult to know if there is sny other legal heir except this lady.

2. Hence to safeguard your interest you may make a newspaper advertisement calling for objection from anyone who may have interest in the property.

3. Then get an indemnity clause included in the sale deed which is standard measure in such situations.

You should demand to show succession certificate to determine that who are the legal hair of the owner and how the property is devolved on her. if there is No other successor except herself then you can purchase this property.

You have to obtain the property title documents, death certificates of her parents, legal heirship certificate, tax receipts, mutation records, the copy of her passport, OCI card, Encumbrance certificate of the property and all other relevant papers pertaining to the property.

You can consult a local advocate and clarify about more details as well as opinion to the property documents
