This query is : Resolved
Dear Sirs,
In one of our properties the electricity bill is in the name of my grandmother who expired in 1986, ;the property actually fell in the name of my father way back in 1974 in their HUF partition ,but the name was not changed but bills paid; now in 2014 the same property fell to my share by WILL(unregistered) but the name continues to be in my grandmother's name-and the payments are made up to date to electricity department as on date.
Now my question is what is the legal aspect by continuing like this ??as I foresee several issues from the department if I want to change in my name-
