Firstly, you need to know the nature of land as in whether it is the anscestral or self acquired.

Secondly. If it is the anscestral then it will be divided as per law of inheritance.

Thirdly, if it is self acquired then it will be divided as per law of Succession.

Fourthly, in either of the cases, you need to get the legal heirs certificate from the court of civil/ district court.

Fifthly, then file a suit for partition.

It may take from 6 months to 1 year if not contested by any of the legal heir.

1. On the death of your parents you four brothers are only its lawful co owners of co sharers by law of inheritances.

2. However since all of you have undivided share in the land to demarcate your respective share and to ensure separate possession you can make a mutual deed of partition and register the deed.

3. So there is no transfer which is required but on the basis of partition deed all of you can separately apply for mutation of your respective names.

This is my response to you:

1. You will need to engage services of a lawyer;

2. You can approach the kaanoon website and search for the same;

3. Nonetheless as per the sharia law which is applicable to you, or if you want to be subject to Indian Succession Act, then also the share will be equally divided between you four brothers with 1/4th share each;

4. It can be presumed that all the papers are present with you?

5. If not then you can retrieve the same from the registrar or collector of thane district;

6. Once you obtain 'True copies' from then you can file for succession certificate in district court;

7. Once you obtain the succession certificate, you can take the same and file for change in owners name before the collector;

8. Once the mutation is complete then you and your brothers become the whole and sole owners of their share of the property;

9. Even if there is dispute, you can apply for partition deed, wherein the court will still grant 1/4th share to each brother.

3. It would not be right for a law expert on this platform/forum to suggest name of any specific law firms or endorse law firm/s;

4. If you still insist to know then, you can approach this website: http://rsg-india.com/rankings.

1. If you do not want partition of the said property of your late father and want it to be jointly held by all the four brothers then what you require to do is mutation of the said property in joint names.

2. For getting the said job done, you do not require a law firm but a local broker or a law clerk who will arrange to mutate your names with the BLRO office.

3. For mutating your names in the land records maintained by the BLRO, you shall have to file an application annexing the death certificate of your father and also with the legal heirs certificate which can be obtained from your local Municipal Corporation through the counselor of your ward. The said counselor might ask for an affidavit from all of you affirming that you four are the only legal heirs of your parent's properties.

1. Apply for mutation in the office of tehsildar on the basis of the death certificate of your father. Engage a local lawyer for this as lots of technicalities are involved.

2. If handled deftly the process should not take longer than a month.

3. Search this portal for the local lawyer.

If your father is reported to have died intestate i.e., without writing any Will, then the property shall devolve equally on all his legal heirs, i.e., not only sons but also on the daughters.

Therefor the property shall belong equally to the daughters also if there are any.

If you do not have any sisters then this property shall devolve on all the four brothers.

All of you have to submit an application to the revenue department to transfer the properties on all the four names combined together.

This will make sure that all the four people are the joint owners or cosharers of the properties.

For further formalities you may approach the Tehsildar's office with an application signed by all, you will informed about the time taken and other issues.
