I have four siblings; I wish to buy a flat on my mother's name, and would be the sole co-borrower, paying the complete EMIs. Could you suggest, the what could be the future implications in this case, when my mother is no more. Will my father be the new owner of it automatically, or it will by default, get split into siblings. Kindly suggest the legal implications. Regards,

Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1) in the event your mother dies intestate ie without a will flat would devolve on her legal heirs namely 5 children equally
2) your father would not get any share as he is not class 1 legal heir .
3) your mother can during her lifetime execute a will wherein she can bequeath flat to whom soever she desires
1. Since the conveyance deed is going to be executed in your mother's favour she will be the owner of the property.
2. If your mother dies without making a will her husband and all children will inherit the property equally.
3. During her lifetime she can make a will of the entire property in anyone's favour.
1. If you can not buy the proeprty in the sole name of your mother when it is you who will make the EMI payments.
2. So you will have to be its co-owner.
3. On the death of your mother, her half share will be automatically divided among her husband and sons/daughters.
4. To avoid this she can make a Will in your favour which though may be challenged by your siblings.
If you are paying the EMI then the propert cannot be solely registered in the name of your mother. Further if tomorrow ur mother dies then all the class 1 legal heirs Will have equal share in the property under her name so make ur decision wisely.
1. When your mother departs from this world, without executing a 'WILL', then the property would devolve equally amongst your father and four siblings.
2. If she executes a 'WILL' and after her death, the property would devolve to such beneficiaries, as detailed in the 'WILL'.
Any property on any individual will devolve equally on the legal heirs if the owner is dying intestate. Therefore if you intend to buy property on your mother's name, it will become her own and absolute property, and after her intestate demise, the property will be equally shared by all her legal heirs including your father and brothers and sisters.
So better do not do that mistake, buy a property on your name itself to avoid future legal complications
1. If the property is bought in the name of your mother, she will be the sole owner of it,
2. After her demise, intestate, the property will be owned by all her legal heirs being your siblings.
A. After the demise of your mother that all the class I heirs will have equal share over the property, i.e, father, children.
B. Your brother will take the defense that the family was joint family and the sole brother paid the EMI with the assistance of joint family funds or if you paid the amount from your accounts that they will establish case as it was maintained the all the things from other brothers.,
C. I would suggest that even if you purchase the flat in your mother;s name, you have to get the Registered Will in your favor without the knowledge the other brothers or get the registered gift deed or release deed after the clearance of the loan.
