• Transfer of property

Hello experts,
My grandfather owns a property jointly with his elder brother in New Delhi. The size of the property is 85 sq. yards. My grandfather died in 2015. 
He was survived by (2 sons and 2 daughters, the wife are dead). On the property papers, it is written "vendees in equal shares". There is a dispute between legal heirs regarding the property. My father wants that the property should be transfer to the brother of my grandfather. Is this a joint tenancy or tenancy in common? If this is a joint tenancy then how should the property be transfer to his elder brother's name? 
Thanks

1. In the absence of a Will, the property of the deceased shall be equally distributed between the residual legal heirs (his Brother, his own childrens).

2. IF the Childrens do not want any share in the deceased's property, THEN all the residual Legal Heirs can execute a registered "Family Settlement Deed", in favor of the deceased's brother, perpetually relinquishing all rights.

Sir the grand father and his brothers are equal owners of the property so the 4 legal heirs of the grand father will be equal owner in the property meaning thereby the brother of grand father has no right on grandfathers 50 percent share the same shall be equally divided in 4 legal heirs that is sons and daughters.

if you then also wish to transfer same to brother then in that case a relinquishment deed need to be made by all legal heirs giving up there rights in property to uncle.

Hello,

If he was the owner of the property then the concept of tenancy will not chip in (correct me if I am wrong or I am not able to understand some fact).

The brother of the gradfather is the joint owner of the property.

The legal heirs of the grandfather shall relinquish the share and thereafter the property can be mutated to the name of the concerned person.

Dear client,

In the absence of will and where the share isn’t allotted to anyone then the property is wholly divided equally to all... better you share the property equally to all or else it would turn to litigation..! You better make partition deed separately.

If yourgrand father die intestate, then your grand mother as well as all siblings will have equal share.

If they sell or transfer it without your consent then u can cancelled that registered sale deed in court of law.

You can file a civil partition suit in your jurisdiction court.

After the demise of your grandfather, his share has devolved upon his legal heirs, which include his 2 sons and 2 daughters.

Your father is free to transfer his 1/4 share in your grandfather's share in this plot to his uncle(elder brother to your grandfather.)

Your father is one of the legal heirs of your grandfather who is reported to have died intestate.

The property is jointly owned by your deceased grandfather and his brother, hence your father's share in the property shall devolve equally on all his legal heirs consisting two sons and two daughters.

If your father wants to transfer the property to his paternal uncle then he can execute a registered release deed or any other mode of valid registered transfer deed in respect of his share in your grandfather's share in the property.

The share of your grand father will devolve upon his legal heirs and not to his brother however if you still want to transfer it to his brother then it can be done thru RDeed.
