Hi

The property involves minor's share.so a court direction should be obtained by the natural guardian the mother for the sale to avoid future trouble .

Keeping the money in FD.is something court will agree.

The widow and the minor shall have the righ..

Hello,

Firstly this property has for stake holders namely the brother, sister, brother's widow and the mother. If the mother wants to sell the property to you the other heirs have to relinquish their rights and or provide NOC to allow the sale.

Regarding the minor son of the deceased son the seller should get a court order authorizing brewer to sell the minor's share and deposit the proceeds in fixed deposits to be made available when he attains majority.

If this is not done the sale can be challenged by the minor son when he attains majority

First of all, we would suggest you to get the title of property examined by a local lawyer and see whether the property has been legally transferred by way of mutation in the name of all legal heirs or whether they have obtained letter of administration from Court.

In the present case, one of the co- shareholder is a minor, so there is a clear cut Supreme Court judgement wherein permission of Court has to be obtained before   transfer by sale  in question.

As you mentioned she intend to keep money in the FD, so it is the discretion of the Court to agree the same

1. Since you are investing your hard earned money in purchasing a property you should carry out legal due diligence to ascertain whether the widow of owner of the land can sell the property to you. As the elder son of the owner is also dead his wife and children have succeeded to his share in the land. So the widow of the land owner cannot sell the property in the first place unless the widow of her elder son consents to the same. If the property is sold without the consent of the widow of the eldest son she may sue you on coming to know about the sale.

2. At first, you should find out whether the property is free from any encumbrance. This would entail making an inquiry as to whether the property has been mortgaged or not. If it has been mortgaged then it cannot be sold till the loan is repaid to the bank.

3. The title deed of the land and the antecedent title should be vetted to see whether the land was marketable and purchased against due consideration by the husband of this woman.

4. Whether the mutation has been carried out or not is also to be looked into.

5. Before you purchase the land you should make sure that electricity, water and other dues have been paid by the owner.

6. Last but not least, it should also be seen whether the property is the subject matter of any lawsuit pending in a court of law.

7. Take assistance of a local lawyer to carry out the above process of due diligence.

1) contact a local lawyer and obtain certificate that title is clear and marketable and free from encumbrances

2) on death of land owner his wife has 1/4th share in property .

3) the 1/4th share of deceased son will be inherited by his wife and minor son .

4) first check whether mutation of property has been done in name of legal heirs .

5) for sale of deceased son share which has devolved on his wife and minor son you would need court orders .

6) if the court agrees part of sale proceeds relating to minor son share can be invested in fixed deposit

1. First of all check whether the said patta land is saleable or not. Most of the lands given to users against patta by the Govt. are not saleable,

2. If it is saleable, then all the legal heirs shall have to sign the sale deed or execute relinquishment deed in favour of one who will execute thebsale deed,

3. Approval for selling the share of the minor shall have to be taken from the District Judge since he is the Trusty of the properties of all minors living in area under his jurisdiction.

You should purchase that land from legal owner, to find legal owner you ask from the owner to give proper document regarding title over the property. Get full inquiry in this regard then proceed further. Generally on the death of owner his property goes to his legal heirs either according to his will or provisions of succession act.

Minor is not entitle to sell his property but property could be vested in him. Only father is entitled to sell the property of minor but in case father died then mother can execute sale deed but in both cases sale deed can't be executed without the permission of Court.

In all conditions guardian of minor can execute sale deed but after taking permission of the court. You must wait until ownership not have decided.
