If any daughter dose not want to inherit mother property, she can release her share.

Share certificate will issue in joint name or can give NOC in favor of other daughter.

Daughters can sell to any , no say of society. Buyer will ask for NOC from society of no dues only.

1. The three daughters are already the m,embers of the Society. Anyone can opt out by conveying title of her share of the flat in favour of anotrher sister or a third party and in that case, her membership will be transferred in favour of the other sister/person.

 

2. The share certificate will have all the title holders names.

 

3. The sale deed will be valid if it is legally exzecuted and registered. However, the dues of the Society shall have to be cleared first for which the buyer will seek NOC from the said Society.

 

4. Make sure that the dues of the Society is cleared. Arrange for a buyer of the said flat. Arrange for a NOC to be issued by the Society. Register the Title Deed to be executed by all the title holders of the said flat. The buyer will then become the member of the Socety and share certificate will be issued in his favour. In Salt Lake, most of the Societies demand hefty amount as donation for issuing NOC which is ordinarily paid by the buyer.
