You first obtain a legal heirship certificate of the deceased who owns this property.

After that you and your siblings can execute a joint registered sale deed in favour of the prospective buyer

Dear client,  Yes, that is correct. If the flat was owned by your deceased mother and your father has also passed away, the property would be inherited by the legal heirs of your mother as per the Hindu Succession Act. To sell the flat, you will need to transfer ownership of the property from your mother's name to the names of the legal heirs, which can be done through a process known as mutation or transfer of property. The specific procedure and requirements for mutation may vary depending on the state or jurisdiction where the property is located. It is recommended to consult with a qualified legal professional or property lawyer in India to ensure that you follow the correct procedures and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

- As per law , after the demise of mother , her property would be devolved upon all her legal heirs equally i.e. you , brother and sister will have 1/3rd share in the property.

If both the legal heir wants to sell the property mutually, then there is no requirement for mutation. You can sell the property through a succession certificate.
