Dear sir 

You can do that by producing death certificate of your father if necessary along with legal heir certificate.It will be entered in the joint names of all the legal heirs unless management of the society has any other rules.

On father demise his one third share in flat  would devolve on your mother , you , your brother , sister 

 

2) your siblings can file suit for partition to claim their  share in the flat 

 

3) apply to society to delete father name in share certificate 

 

4) enclose his death certificate

See after demise of father in his share all legal heirs including your brother and sister shall.have equal right that is in one third share of father you shall have equal share.

You need relinquishment deed and consent from brother and sister to get flat transfered in your name.

you cant remove your father name from the shares certificate. since he died as an intestate, his share on the flat 1/3 will be equally shared by his legal heirs, i.e. your mother, you and your brother and sister. 

unless he settle his share or wrote a Will infavour of you, you cant remove your father name from the share certificate.

1. father has 1/3rd share in the flat

2. on his demise that 1/3rd share will devolve on his legal heirs who are his widow [your mother] and 3 children eqaully

3. thus each legal heir has 1/3 x 1/4 = 1/12th share 

4. therefore the present shareholding of the flat will be as follows - 

mother - 1/3 + 1/12 = 41.7%

you - 1/3 + 1/12 = 41.7%

your brother - 8.33%

your sister - 8.33%

TOTAL = 100%

5. So father's name cannot be deleted from society records like this because that will amount to infringing on the pro rata rights of your siblings in the flat which they have inherited from your father

6. however if in the sale deed, there is a mention that your father paid no consideration for the flat and his name was included only by way of family arrangement then your siblings will not have any right in the flat

- Since, the said Flat is in your, father, mothers name , hence as per law , no body is having right in your share, 

- But, after demise of your father , his share will be distributed amongst all his legal heirs ,including you.

- Without consent of all legal heirs , society will not remove your fathers name as a sharer of the said Flat.

- Even, if fathers name will be deleted, but you alone will not become the owner of his share.

- Try to convince other siblings and take affidavit /relinquishment deed from them, and submit the same with death certificate with the society.

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:

1. Following are the ratio share of the Flat owners:

a) Yourself: 33.33%

b) Father: 33.33%

c) Mother: 33.33%

2. AFTER demise of Father (intestate, without WILL) the Fathers 33.33% share shall be divided (under the Hindu Succession Act) in EQUAL PROPORTION involving Yourself, Mother, Brother & Sister (referred as "residual legal heirs of deceased Father")

3.  IF consent letter is not possible, THEN you will have to file for "Letter of Administration" thru the Mumbai High Court, for Father's Share of 33.33%.

Hello, 

If they are not giving NOC then you will have to file a declaration suit in the court of law and get a declaration that you are the survivor and that your name be be entered in his place.

If they have any objection then in that case they have the right to clam their share.

After death automatically the nominee and legal heirs name come on record. If you are nominee it will come on record but you will need noc. If they don't give you noc you need to apply for succession certificate

Hi,

It is suggested that you write an application to society for issue of a fresh share and attach death certificate of your father and previous share certificate.

You need consent from all legal heirs of your father for getting share certificate transfer on names of you and your mother. 

Otherwise you can remove father's name and Insert the name of all legal heirs for equal shares from 1/3 share of your father.

Your father's name cannot be removed without the consent of all the legal heirs even if you may produce the death certificate before the society.

The other siblings of yours have to give NOC to your application seeking to remove your father's name.

Your siblings have a right in your father's  share in the property similar to yours.

This is my response to you:

1. You will need to obtain letters of administration;

2. Or you can obtain a release deed wherein your siblings transfer the property to your name;

3. Consult a local lawyer, discuss full facts and take steps.
