Hi

My grandfather owns a plot in Hyderabad and he expired in September 2009. As per will, my father was the sole heir of the property. After that we didnt change or transfer the property to my father's name. Now my father also passed away last year but he didnt make any will. I want to know how I can transfer the property to my Mother's name and my name. Do I need to pay any fees for transfer of property to our name

1) on your grand father demise your grand mother , your father and his siblings were legal heirs to the property

2) if grand father had left a will your father should have enclosed copy of will, death certificate and made application for mutation of property in his name .

3) you and your mother should make an application before tehsildar for mutation of property in your names . enclose death certificate of grand father , father , death certificates . will of grand father ., your ration card , birth certificate

1. On the death of your grand father and father the property by rule of succession automatically devolves upon you and your mother if there is no other legal heir other than you and your mother.

2. now on the basis of the death certificate and succession certificate/heirship certificate you can apply for mutation of your respective names in the register of the property.

1. How many siblings do you have?

2. According to the will left by your grand father, your father was the absolute owner of the properties owned by your grand father.

3. Since your father died without making a will, all the properties owned by him including those received through inheritance, will devolve equally on all his legal heirs.

4. You should now apply for mutation of the property by annexing the death certificate of your father and grand father, a copy of the will made by your grand father in favour of your deceased father, a copy of your own birth certificate and receipts of the property/house tax.

If property is an agricultural land – Mandal Revenue Officer ( under Andhra Pradesh and Telangana Land Revenue Act); if property is house or vacant land in a city/village other than agricultural land -- Offices of Corporation, Municipality, Panchayat or City survey if such office exists.

1. You should approach your Tahasildar/ Mumnicipality/corporation office(as per your area) and apply for transfer(mutation), by this you can transfer the property in the your and your mother's name.

2. If you have any other siblings, you also have to obtain an NOC from them that they have no objection in transferring the property in your and your mother's name..

Hello,

1) As your grand father and father passed away you can certainly apply for mutation of the property in your and your mother's name.

2) As the grandfather had willed the property in your father's name and as he was the only heir, there should not be any problems with regard to the mutation.

3) You need to apply before the tehsildar for the mutation of the property in your and your mother's names. You need to produce the death certificates of both father and grandfather in the original, your ration card and birth certificate and tax paid receipts.

4) There is a nominal fee involved while applying for mutation as you apply and usually it would be disposed off summarily.
