1) Thanks for answering my question. I have a brother and we live together with our families in the same house. 2) Till now GDA authorities are saying since your mother wan as power of attorney holder, after her demise, the sale deed has no value. Her powers can't be passed on to legal heirs. The actual owner is Mr.Yadav and land belongs to him. What you are saying is completely different, that my mother was absolute owner. 3) I want to know what is "letter of administration" and is filing a case in court is the only solution. 4) Against whom we have to file case, GDA or Mr.Yadav
1) in para 3 of your query you had stated as under
My mother paid the stamp duty, registration fee and free hold fee to GDA and the sale deed was registered with sub-registrar in favour of mother
2) it is on said basis i had stated that your mother was absolute owner of said property
3) it is necessary to peruse the papers as there is lot of confusion in what you have stated and what GDA is saying
4) if your mother was mere POA holder then on her demise power of attorney ceases
5) if Mr yadav is owner you need to approach him for obtaining clear title to the property
6) mr yadav can execute sale deed in favour of you and your siblings
7) letters of administration is obtained from court in case a person dies intestate in respect of his immovable properties
8) in your case if mother was mere POA holder then you dont become owner of property on her demise
Your facts are very confusing. When the plot was purchased by your father then how was it allotted to Mr.Yadav? How did the title pass to your father? If your mother was the POA holder of the seller then how could the sale deed be executed in her favour? There cannot be a sale deed and POA in favour of the same person as these two documents create two different charters of rights which cannot vest in the same person.
If your query is devoid of actual facts or backgrounds details you will certainly get a misguiding opinion only.
In your first question you said that "" This sale deed was between GDA and my mother.
3. My mother paid the stamp duty, registration fee and free hold fee to GDA and the sale deed was registered with sub-registrar. ""
This implies that your mother was the absolute owner of the property hence after her demise, the property will automatically devolve on all her legal heirs.
Whereas In your subsequent question you say that ""Till now GDA authorities are saying since your mother wan as power of attorney holder, after her demise, the sale deed has no value. Her powers can't be passed on to legal heirs. The actual owner is Mr.Yadav and land belongs to him. What you are saying is completely different, that my mother was absolute owner. ""
Now you decide that which one of the above questions is correct.
If your mother was only a GPA holder of Yadav, upon her death the GPA deed becomes infructuous.
Do you have the copy of the registered sale deed on your mother's name, if so, you can apply to the revenue authorities to transfer or mutate the properties on the name ofthe legal heirs of the deceased owner, if they refuse, ask them to give it in writing after which you can decide the further course of legal action as envisaged in the law for the purpose.
Hi, When the sale deed is made in your mother name then your mother become the absolute owner of the property so after her demise her legal heirs are the owner of the property.
2. Ask the GDA in writing to mutate the name in your favour along with NOC form your brother if they refused to mutate the name in your favour then you can file a Writ petition before the Hon'ble High Court.
