However the succession certificate is to be issued on the basis of surviving member certificate or family register all name of the family members mentioned in Ration card. If you have sold out one property on the basis of surviving member certificate you should produce that document for issuing of succession certificate. You could not sell it after mutation because mutation certificate is a document acceptable to proof of ownership

1) succession certificate is only for movable debts and securities

2) since your mother died intestate you need letters of administration from district court

3) mere mutation does not confer any title to property

4) entry in revenue records is only for payment of property taxes

Hello,

You will have to obtain the succession certificate and not the letter of administration.

Yes once the mutation is done and the title comes in your name then you can sell the same.

The succession certificate is not applicable to immovable property.

You have to obtain a legal heirship certificate from the local revenue department

If the authorities still object or refuse then you may contemplate to initiate appropriate legal action against the authorities for relief and remedy
