• Tahsildar refuses to enter my name on 7/12 inspite of having Letter of Administration on my name

Tahsildar refuses to enter my name on 7/12 inspite of having Letter of Administration on my name. 

Can I get a court order for the same on the basis of letter of administration? What is the time frame and cost (lawyer cost and court fees) to secure such order from high court? Or is there some other way out in this case?

  1. No need to approach High Court. You can complaint to deputy Collector against Tahasildar.
  2. If you have letter of administration from Court, issue him notice for contempt of Court order and after that file a case against Tahasildar for contempt. He will do the needful on after receiving contempt notice.

Enclose consent affidavit of other legal heirs for mutation of property your name 

 

2) they can execute registered relinquishment deed for their share in property 

 

3) tehsildar will carry out mutation of property in your name 

 

4) no need to obtain court orders

Make a representation in writing to the tahsildar to mutate your name in 7/12 based on the LA 

If no reply then you can file the writ petition 

Not possible to give a fee quote without knowing the actual background of the matter. 

How can you expect a lawyer to tell you time frame for getting a court order? What if a lawyer tells you 1 week and the order does not come within that period? 

Plz book a paid phone consultation so that the matter can be better understood and to enable to give a fee quotation for the intended assignment. This shall NOT be construed as any solicitation

Let me check s. 149 

Also a writ petition may not directly lie 

You will have to approach the officer who is superior to the tahsildar under the maharashtra land revenue code

No right as executor or legatee can be established in any Court of Justice unless a Court of competent jurisdiction in India has granted probate of the will under which the right is claimed, or has granted letters of administration with the will or with a copy of an authenticated copy of the will annexed.

So if you have  obtained an order in this regard from court  then the revenue department has to entertain your application for transfer of 7/12  entries accordingly.

The time take for disposal of this case, lawyer fee and the court fee can be had from the lawyer you may choose for this purpose.

if a will does not nominate an executor, the beneficiaries of the deceased will have to file an application for Letter of Administration. This Letter of Administration would grant the same administrative rights to the beneficiaries that an executor would have enjoyed. However, If a person dies intestate, then an applicant seeking administrative rights pertaining to the deceased estate files for Letter of Administration.

Hence, when a person dies intestate/ or doesn't nominate an executor under the will, it is then, the Letter of Administration acts as a facilitating document. Letter of Administration is granted to the beneficiaries after they apply to a Court of law having competent jurisdiction. Letter of Administration entitles the administrator to all rights belonging to the intestate as effectually as if the administration had been granted at the moment after his death.

Probate, Letter of Administration and Succession Certificate are legal documents through which rights pertaining to the estate of the deceased are granted. Probate and Letter of Administration are the primary documents through which administrative rights pertaining to the estate of the deceased are validated.

Therefore it is essential that you obtain a letter of administration from a court competent in order to get the property revenue records transferred to the names of the legal heirs as mentioned in the letter of administration.

The notarised letter of administration is not valid in law, hence it is unreliable, therefore the Tehsildar may not entertain your request in this regard on the basis of the notarised letter of administration.
