What Should I Do If Anyone Holds The Property Of My Late Father?

In the event of their father's intestate death, a son or daughter who is a Class I heir under the Hindu Succession Act of 1956 shall take precedence over his self-acquired property (without leaving a will). Additionally, as a coparcener, a person is legally entitled to purchase their share of ancestral property.


Ancestral Property: According to Hindu law, at the moment of birth, a person acquires an immediate right to share the inherited property. Something is considered ancestral if it can be passed down through four generations of male lineage. A property is deemed ancestral if either of the following two scenarios occurs: either the father inherits it from his deceased grandfather, the grandfather, or it is inherited from the grandfather. The latter divided the property while he was still alive. It wouldn't be regarded as ancestral property if the father acquired the assets as a gift from the grandfather. A son may claim his share of the inheritance while his father still lives. The concept of Class I heirs under the legislation does not apply to a stepson who is the other parent's kid with another partner, whether that partner is alive or not. Lawyers In Bangalore can be hired to help you transfer the property of your father by applying the rules of succession.

Lack of Will-Based Succession: If a property owner dies without leaving a will, the assets will be divided into the legal heirs in the prescribed sequence in compliance with the provisions of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. Priority is accorded to Class-I legal heirs, which are close relatives such as parents, spouses, children, and their successors. In each of their shares, parents, sons, and daughters will each receive an equal share. A spouse is also entitled to one share.


The single portion to which each surviving wife is entitled will be divided among them if there are several surviving wives. Also going to their successors is the one share that the person through whom they are claiming they are entitled to receive. In the absence of a will, a female heir is entitled to a part and to live in the house. However, only the male heir has the authority to request a partition; the female heir is powerless to do so. The legal heirs must still ask the court for a succession certificate even if a will is left behind. It is the legal document that enables the holder to collect on behalf of the decedent, any obligations or securities due to or payable to heirs or beneficiaries of the decedent. The application for the succession certificate must be received by a magistrate or a high court. Lawyers In Hyderabad can assist you in understanding the provisions of succession.


For a legal transfer of property, a request must be made to the sub-office registrars.

The Will and a probate or succession certificate are the ownership records that the applicant will need to present. Depending on the settlement in the absence of a Will, legal heirs will be required to produce a no-objection certificate. The transfer documentation should specify if the beneficiaries are paying the other legal heirs to buy their shares. Once the property has been registered in the beneficiaries' names, an application for amending the property title must be made. The records of the revenue department will be changed to reflect the change in ownership of the property. The place to submit the amendment request is the local municipality office. The new owner of the property will be responsible for paying property taxes following the change.

You can launch a lawsuit against someone else who is in possession of your late father's property as a temporary corrective action or obtain an injunction. But it's also important to understand if the person has any claim to your late father's possessions.

Before the property may be transferred into the name of the new owner, if a home loan is still owed on it, the whole balance of the loan must be paid off. The home loan provider holds onto the original documents when making the loan and only releases them after full repayment.

The new beneficiaries, who will be known as the new lessors, must enter into a new lease agreement with the tenant if the purchased property is rented out.
