Hi Experts,
I need your opinion on the following scenario -
A working couple, A (husband) and B (wife) book an apartment in NCR and get the provisional allotment letter from the builder showing them as the joint owners. They keep paying the installments as and when the requests are raised by the builder. Almost 40% of the amount paid is paid by B's family (through cheques). Three years after booking the apartment, B expires without leaving a will. Following are the queries now -
1) Is provisional allotment letter good enoough proof to prove their joint possesion of apartment?
2) Does, in this case, A automatically become the sole owner of the apartment by law? If yes, is there need to get an updated provisional allotment letter issued from builder where in A is mentioned as the sole owner or the original one enough? If yes, what documents need to be submitted to the builder to get an updated provisional allotment letter?
3) Can B's family in any circumstances claim their right on the property?
Thanks
