Ownership of mother's property after her death
My mother died few years ago. My father is alive and I am the only son. I have no brothers and no sisters. My family includes my wife, one major child and one minor child. We want to sell a free hold one ground land in Chennai, registered in the sole name of my mother. We are in possession of the original sale deed identifying my mother as sole owner. The patta, chitta, adangal and vari receipts are all in mother's name. We have not done any transfer of rights or property transfer, and there is no will left by my mother. Who all are the rightful owners of this property and what is the share of ownership for each? What are the legal proceedings in this case to enable the property sale? Who all of us need to sign in the sale deed for the transfer to be complete to the buyer?

If the land belonging to your mother was purchased by her, and you being a Christian by religion, then her husband and son get to inherit the property in equal shares as you do not have any other siblings.
If you have decided to dispose off the above property, then in such a event your father, yourself and your major child will have to sign the sale deed transferring the above property in favour of the purchaser.
Before the transfer the patta, chitta, adnagal and vari receipts must be transferred into the name of your father, for which you will have to give an NOC to the concerned departments along with a copy of the death certificate of your mother in order to effect the transfer in your father name.

2) Each of you have equal right/ share in the property .
3) You need to obtain a legal heir certificate and transfer the property in the name of either of you the heirs.
4) All the heirs must sign the sale deed as confirming parties. The exception is the minor child of yours. You can sign on its behalf. It is advisable to seek court's permission to sell the portion of the share that belongs to the minor child.
