Sir get the property that is land mutuated in your name from Revenue / municipal office based on nature of the land. Further for mutuation application has to be preferred with office along death certificate and affidavit.

Once it is mutated in name of you 3 you can further sell it .

By making a registered sale deed you 3 have to sign same.

You don't have to spent much amount in same.

There shall be minimal expenditure in same.

1. ALL the three residual legal heirs of the deceased can execute a "Sale Deed" by joint signatures with the intending buyers, without any further reference to any another documentations or court orders.

2. The above is possible, IF you can documentarily prove the relationship with the deceased (Ration Card, Grampanchayat certificate, Legal Heir Certificate, etc.... )

A. When a Hindu male died intestate(without any will) leaving behind mother, wife and children that property shall be distributed equally between all the class I legal heirs under Section 8 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956.

B. As far as succession/inheritance is concerned in respect your family that you, your elder brother and mother will get equal right over the piece of land and all the said three inherited people should get transfer/mutation process by virtue of inheritance before the Revenue/Municipal/Concerned Department in your area by submitting your father death certificate, Family Tree and succession certificate.

C. All the three owners must be executed Sale Deed in favour of the buyer once the property transferred in your name. Legal charges may be variable in state to state and please visit sub registrar office towards Sale Deed and also you may get fee structure in local revenue department/tahsildar office towards mutation transfer fee.

As your father died intestate I.e. without any will. All siblings and your mother are legal heirs now. You need to transfer the property in your name or your mothers. Once it's in your name you can sell the property.

Please note that a property cannot be without the title holder so after the death of your father the property title goes to you your brother and mother and you have all the right to sell the property.

The property should have been recorded in the revenue records in your names if not you have to get the mutation done in your names before you go for for the sale of the property as the buyer of the property bill definitely check the title holders record
