The share of your mother out of her father's property shall devolve equally on all her legal heirs equally.

Since the property was not partitioned between your mother and her sister as per the Will, you can file a partition suit seeking division of property into two shares on the basis of the Will written by your grandfather and seek separate possession of your share.

The legal step to file  a partition suit can be filed only if your aunt is not agreeing for an amicable partition.

If she is agreeing for an amicable partition, then draw a partition deed accordingly and get it registered after which the share of your mother can be mutated on the names of all her own legal heirs. 

Then you can apply for home loan from bank based on the said registered document.

- As per law, after the death of your mother , he share in the  property will be divided equally among her legal heirs, i.e. son, daughter , father 

- If you are only legal heir , then there is no problem , otherwise you should take release deed in your favour from other legal heirs of your mother .

- Since you and your  masi has already entered into a Mutual family settlement , hence on this ground , you should apply for mutation of the property , after submitting death certificate , family settlement and proof of occupation in the property. 

-  However , if the Mutual family settlement is not registered , then you will face problem for taking loan , hence before apply for mutation , get it registered from the office of Registrar .

There is no need for probate of Will.

However you may draw a formal partition deed between you both and get it registered.

After registration of the partition deed, you can apply for mutation of the revenue records to your name and then apply for home loan with the bank.

The bank will be convinced about it then only.

Dear sir/madam,

In the present conditions, you are suggested to use the will and mutual agreement between you and your mausi for mutation of land on your name and then apply for the loan. You may also, submit the certified copies of these will and agreement to bank and physical verification of land will strengthen you version.

Dear Sir,
In case a registered will has been left by the person, the property will get transferred and devolve upon the beneficiary named in the will by the testator. The beneficiary needs to get the mutation done in the records of Municipal Corporation (MCD) and DDA / L&DO. The beneficiary should have the death certificate, copy of property documents (like sale deed, gift deed, power of attorney etc), copy of will in his favour, property tax payment receipts to get the mutation done.

Example: A father makes a registered will wherein he bequeaths his commercial property in Delhi in favour of his son & grandson. After the expiry of the father, the property will get transferred to the son and the grandson on the basis of will and they can get the property transferred in their joint names in the records of DDA and MCD.

However, if the will is unregistered, the beneficiary may have to first obtain a probate of the will from the court to get the mutation of property done in his favour. Obtaining probate is an expensive and a time consuming process and may lead to a long legal battle between the family members with regard to the distribution of the assets. That is why it is highly recommended that each person should get his will registered before its too late.

Example: A mother made a will in favour of her daughter but did not get it registered. After the mother's demise, the daughter went to the court to obtain probate of the will. Some family members challenged the validity of the will and claimed it to forged and fabricated and produced another will in their favour. Now, the court shall decide whose will is genuine on the basis of evidences which will take quite a long period of time.


2. Transfer of property without Will

In case no will has been left by the person, the rules of succession will come into play. As per the Hindu Succession Act, the property will devolve upon all the Class I legal heirs in equal proportion. The legal heirs will have to obtain a succession certificate from the court  for transfer of moveable assets (such a shares, mutual fund units, fixed deposits, bank accounts, PPF, insurance policies, bank locker, jewellery, stocks, demat account etc. )

Example: A father expires without leaving any will. He had properties in Delhi & Gurgaon and left behind his wife, two sons and two daughters. After his demise, the property will devolve  equally upon her Class I Legal heirs i.e. her wife, two sons and two daughters and each one of them shall get 1/5th (i.e. 20%) share in the properties.

In case the daughters do not want any share in the property of their father, they can surrender/ relinquish their shares in favour of the their mother and brothers through a registered relinquishment deed. After the execution and registration of relinquishment deed, the mother and brothers will have 1/3rd (33.33%) share in the property. They can then apply get the mutation done in their joint names in the records of MCD, DDA / L&DO.

1. First of all the property of grandfather must be partitioned in records between your Aunt(mausi) and legal heirs of your mother.

2. For that either you have to probate the will or you can also make a settlement deed with your aunt after getting legal heir certificate of your grandfather and your mother. 

3. If you already had a mutual agreement between your aunt and you then you can get it registered and get property mutated on your name from revenue office.

You being legal heir need to apply for mutation of your name and that of your masi in the revenue records.

The application for mutation has to be presented alongwith the Death Certificate of your mother & grand father along with the tax paid receipts.  Upon satisfying with the same and when no objections are received against your application, Mutation of your name will be done in the records.  The same will be  sufficient to suit your requirement.
