My father during his lifetime bought four sites in Bangalore in order to gift it to his four sons, he has no daughter. He died intestate having signed some blank paper. My mother is still alive.
The site is registered in his name. It is a revenue site. Till now no tax has been paid. No khata has been obtained. No betterment charges have been paid.
We four brothers now are contemplating to fill up the blank paper and make it a will in favour of our mother, then from that will we are contemplating to partition the property through a Partition Deed.
The question that arises is whether we should pay the betterment charges first and obtain the khata in our late father's name and then go for partition or is it possible to partition the property on the strength of the will and then pay the betterment charges and obtain khata in our individual names?
Can the property be partitioned without khata being obtained first?
In one of the paper which is signed he has written that the property be equally divided among the four brothers. It is only a plain paper in which he has written, which can be taken as a WILL. But we do have additional blank signed papers. Maybe the additional signed blank papers may not be necessary.
