Hello,

Being a nominee does not entitle someone for right in the property as nomination does not give the right away.As you rightly said the nominee is only a trustee. What you need to do is talk to your brother and apply for joint membership in the Hsg. society.

You being the legal heir of your father have one equal share with any other heirs.If your brother is not willing to give the share in your father's property your remedy is to approach a civil court and file a suit for partition.

Shares and membership in the Hsg.Society can be transferred only with the consent of all the legal heirs.

The procedure as you know is by applying for the membership as per the Society bye laws in the prescribed format, by obtaining NOC from all legal heirs.In your case if you and your brother alone are the legal heirs, you need his NOC to get the membership and shares transferred in your name.

In case you need further assistance you can call or contact me.

1)i presume your father died intestate and did not leave any will .

2) on your father death your mother , your elder brother and siblings have equal share in the flat .

3) what you ought to have done is to issue legal notice to the society not to transfer flat in name of nominee .

4) society would have then directed your brother to obtain succession certificate from court .

5) you merely wrote letter to society not to transfer and society ignored your letter .

6)please clarify whether transfer of share in favour of your brother was approved by MC and ratified by AGM

7) issue legal notice to your brother claiming share in said flat .

8) if brother refuses to give you any share file suit for partition and obtain an injunction restraining your brother from creating third party rights in respect of flat .

9) please note that for sale of flat consent of all legal heirs is necessary as your brother is merely a trustee .

1) society will transfer flat in favour of nominee on death of flat owner .

2) society obtains an indemnity bond from nominee to protect its interests

3) Dy registrar rejected your request as society has transferred flat on basis of nomination received from deceased member . only civil court can decide the share of legal heirs of the property

4) court will not reject your suit for partition . in fact court will grant injunction restraining your brother from selling the flat

1. as ur father did not left any will and therefore, all LRS have equal share in said flat

2. file partition suit in civil court to get ur share as per order of court.

3.also file injunction application with said partition suit to get stay order against ur brother from creating third party rights in said flat.

On death of the owner all heirs have equal right nominee is not care taker and no right is devolved on nominee.you can get his death certificate apply for legal heir certificate and ask to mutate in the name of heirs and ask society to add your name

1. Since your brother has been declared as Nominee of your father's flat by your father, the Society will consider him as next owner in absence of any Court order,

2. File a Partition Suit immediately before the Court alongwith an application under order 39 rule 1 & 2 praying for an injunction restraining your brother in selling the flat or creating any third party interest on it till disposal of your partition suit.

1. Nomination does not entitle the nominee to claim exclusive ownership of the property. The position of a nominee is no better than a trustee. When tested on this touchstone your brother has no right greater than your right in the flat.

2. If your father died without making a will during his lifetime then all his children have an equal share int he property. None of the children can claim to be the exclusive owner of the parental property in the absence of a will made by the concerned parent. As such, your share is equal to the share of your brother and other siblings (if any).

3. You should have issued a lawyer's notice to the society to restrain it from transferring the share certificate to your brother. Writing letters in such cases does not produce the desired result, a lawyer's notice does.

4. Your only legal remedy now is to move to court and file a case for partition of property against your brother to cull out your lawful share in the flat of your deceased father in respect of which he left no will. Also seek a stay against the sale of the property by your brother as he may now attempt to sell it in view of the fact that the share certificate has been transferred to him.

1. You have an equal share in the flat of your deceased father as he left no will in respect thereof. So court will not dismiss your case.

2. Move to court and file for partition of the property and also seek a stay on the sale of the property by your brother lest he succeeds in selling the flat.

You can apply for either legal heir certificate or sucession certificate.
