• Rights to transfer fathers property

We have a SRA flat in my father's name in Mumbai and who expired in 1998. We got that flat around 2002 in his name (more than 10 year passed now).

My mother expired in 1988 after my father had 2nd marriage. For my mother we are 4 (me and 3 elder sister(married)).

My small mother has one son (not married) and one daughter (married). we all lived together. I did marraige for my sister.

My small mother has only Adhaar card mentioning his husband's (my father's name with address of this house) name.


Now to change the house in my name what is the procedure. First transfer it to her name then transfer to my name or I can apply to transfer the property to my name directly.

if I am applying to transfer directly who are all has to sign in NOC (my sister and 2nd wife's son+ daughter) ?

what is the involvment of association in this case

1. You can execute a Duly Stamp Duty paid Registered "Family Settlement Deed". Such Deed should have proper strategic clauses in your favor and MUST be jointly and mutually signed by ALL the Legal Heirs of the Deceased (whosoever).

2. The above would give you irrefutable and irrevocable Title-Rights over the deceased's property and shall have clear title, for futuristic legal purposes.

hello,

your father died intestate and hence the property will be distributed to all of his heirs which are--- you and your 3 siblings, your stepmother, her children(2), i,e. a total of 7 people.

therefore in order to transfer the flat in your name, you ought to obtain NOC's from 6 people.

the building association normally has no role to play in it unless there could be a clause in the associations' rules and bye-laws which have to be looked into. but I don't think that there would be a problem.

On father demise you have one seventh share in flat

2) gift deed or relinquishment deed has to be executed by the legal heirs to transfer flat in your name

3) deed should be duly stamped and registered

4) society would then transfer flat in your name

1. For transferring the title of the property standing in the name of your late father, only NOC executed by otherv legal heirs will not suffice.

2. All the legal heirs of your father including your small mother, shall have to register a Relinquishment Deed duly relinquishing their rights on the said property in your favour.

3. Thereafter you can apply for mutating your name for the said property by applying for mutation enclosing copy of the said Relinquishment Deed.

This is my response to you:

1. Since you all the legal heirs, all the right over the property;

2. Now to name it under your name, you will require the NOC of all the adult family members of your father;

3. They will also need to execute a indemnity bond on stamp paper;

4. You should also take out an advertisement in two papers inviting claim on the property;

5. Then you can approach the registrar and do the mutation entry.

1) You all are legal heirs after your father.

2) first get all legal heirs name on the flat as per the rule.

3) Than make relinquish deed on your name from each of the legal heirs signed on it and get registered in the registrar office.

4) Than the property will get transfer on your name.

Hello,

There is no involvement of the association in this case.

The consent of the second wife and the other legal heirs will be required to get the property transferred to your name directly.

Get a succession certificate from the court.

Kindly get in touch with a local lawyer.

Dear Sir,

The crux of the issue raised by you lies between admitting or not admitting your step mother as family member. You can take both stands. If she is not considered as family member because she was married during the life time of first wife of your father, which is illegal. You can eliminate her from the family heir ship certificate and get transfer in to your names (children of first wife only. Orelse you may get it changed either in the name of step mother for joint names of all of you including your step mother her major children showing her as guardian of minor children. You can convince the Association, if not agreed you may approach the Deputy Director of Department of Cooperative Societies and/or High Court.

Your father's marriage is legal in life of first wife hindu cannot marry second wife after demise of first wife second marriage can be done. Your step mom along with her children shall have equal share in the property

No the association is not.telling right procedure as other legal heirs can claim wife along all legal heirs have equal share.

So all have to relinquish there share.

If sisters cannot be present then they can send a POA I.e. power of attorney in your name or mothers name to execute and register relinquishment deed.

Hello,

The hindu law does not recognise second marriage when the first is already subsisting. Your father maari if when your mother died. If he had marries when your mother W's still alive his second marriage would have been void. But then too the law says that hey would get a share in his self acquired property.

It is ok if your sisters sign and NOC and give it to you.

A simple procedure would be that your stepmother also sign a noc and give it to you.

Yes sir it is very right that the second wife should not get anything irrespective of the fact that whether she became 2nd wife before t the first one demise or after that.

But, the children of the second wife also would have all equal rights as for the children of the first one.

So, accordingly you may need to have the NOC from them.

This is in further response to you:

1. Second wife will also have share in the property;

2. After husband death, if wife is the nominee then it will go only to her, but as per law all legal heirs (i.e. Class I legal heirs will be the owner);

3. These are the categories of Class I heirs: Class I: Son; daughter; widow; mother; son of a pre-deceased son; daughter of a pre-deceased son; son of a pre-deceased daughter; daughter of a pre-deceased daughter; widow of a pre-deceased son; son of a pre-deceased son of a pre-deceased son; daughter of a pre-deceased son of a pre-deceased son; widow of a pre-deceased son of a pre-deceased son; 1[son of a pre-deceased daughter of a pre-deceased daughter; daughter of a pre-deceased daughter of a pre-deceased daughter; daughter of a pre-deceased son of a pre-deceased daughter; daughter of a pre-deceased daughter of a pre-deceased son.

4. Therefore you all are the owners;

5. Yes if your sisters give their NOC it is enough, and only your step mother and you are present is good enough.

1) In gift deed you have to pay tax to government and in relinquish not.

2) So its better to get all legal heirs name on property and than make relinquish deed and get it registered.

1. In your case your small mother has got equal right on your late father's property being his legitimate wife.

2. It is not a fact that "after husband's death, the property normally goes to wife". It is inherited by all the legal heirs of the deceased person.

3. All the legal heirs of your late father including your small mother, shall have to register a Relinquishment Deed duly relinquishing their rights on the said property in your favour.

4. While registering the said Relinquishment Deed, all the executants shall have to be present before the Registrar.

The second wife does get the share.

If they sign the document and send the same to you it will be enough.

Now to change the house in my name what is the procedure. First transfer it to her name then transfer to my name or I can apply to transfer the property to my name directly.

if I am applying to transfer directly who are all has to sign in NOC (my sister and 2nd wife's son+ daughter) ?

what is the involvment of association in this case

Since this property belonged to your deceased father, after his intestate death, it devolves equally on all his legal heirs consisting you four and your step mother and her two children totalling seven.

If you want this property to be transferred to your name alone, then all the other six people have to execute a registered release deed relinquishing their rights in the property to your name.

After this they have to execute a NOC to the association to transfer the share to your name.

On completion of the said procedure you would become an absolute owner of this property

As per Hindu law 2nd wife will not get any share - but my father married 2nd wife after my mother's death - for my case how it can apply

She is legally wedded wife and she si entitled to a legitimate share in her husband's property as his widow.

Association said bellow. is this right procedure?

With the share certificate my stepmother can request to do the name transfer to her name - after husband's death it normally go to wife. Once its transfer to her name, then she can execute a gift deed to transfer on my name

The association is incorrect in its opinion. As per law, all the legal heirs have equal rights in the proeprty, hence dont believe rumours.

All my sisters living in Tamil nadu after marriage - if they sign the document and send it to us is enough. During the registration or transfer only me and my stepmother physical present is enough

They all have to be physically present before the registrar's office for executing a registered release deed.
