My mother is paying the flat charges to the society thru cash from the year 2000. We are three brothers who are married and are ready to help her to get the flat in her name.

All of you brothers should give disclaimer in favor of mother and get her name mutated in the register of municipal books.

Please consult a lawyer of your area and get mutation done in favor of mother.

1. you will have to make an application to the High Court for grant of letters of administration to administer the estate of your deceased father

2. all the legal heirs will have to give their NOC/consent for appointment of an administrator

3. even you can apply to be appointed as an administrator

4. once the letters of administration are granted, the appointed administrator will execute a transfer deed in favour of your mother, with the 3 brothers acting as confirming or consenting parties, to this transaction

5. no stamp duty is payable on above transfer deed because it is merely a transfer in favour of the legal heir and not a sale or transfer

6. once the aforesaid transfer deed is executed in the name of your mom, she can submit the same to the society which can then mutate the share certificate to enter her name as society member and thus she will become owner of the flat

7. you need to inquire in your state what is the applicable court fees payable on the above petition for grant of letters of administration

This is my response to you:

1. Since your father died intestate you will have to apply for succession certificate from district court;

2. Collect all the documents which needs to be submitted to the court;

3. After that since you and your brother do not wish to claim, then you all 3 have to give an NOC;

4. Take the certificate and NOC and approach the registering authority;

5. Once you do then make the mutation entries in the property records.

Since your father had died without leaving any WILL, his property will go in equal share amongst his Class-I heirs viz., his widow (i.e. your mother), his children and also his mother (in case she is alive).

First, one has to obtain legal heir certificate from the Tehasildar by submitting a detailed application indicating all the Class-I heirs left behind by the deceased, their age, their relationship with the deceased (i.e. wife, son, daughter, mother etc.). The said Application should be accompanied by the Death Certificate.

After making enquiries, the Tehasildar will issue the legal heir certificate.

On the basis of the said legal heir certificate, the legal heirs have to approach the Authorities for mutation of the property in their name.

However, you want that the property should be registered in your mother's name. For this, all the other legal heirs have to execute a Registered Relinquishment Deed relinquishing their respective shares in the property in favour of your mother. The Relinquishment Deed will involve very small stamp duty and registration fee.

Once such a Relinquishment Deed is registered, then your mother can approach the authorities along with the legal heir certificate and the Relinquishment Deed for getting the property mutated in her name.

First of all you three siblings are to execute a registered release deed relinquishing your rights in the proeprty in favor of your mother after which you all the three may have to give NOC to the society to transfer the share certificate of the flat to your mother's name.

You may have to enclose the death certificate along with an application for transfer to the society.
