Transfer of property in case of step children

(Querist) 28 March 2016 This query is : Resolved 
Hello,

My husband died in 2011.and I have a step daughter(Not adopted legally by me) whose married and I have my own daughter whose residing with me currently and also shes not married yet. This house is bought by my husband in 2002.
Does my step daughter signature in necessary in relinquishment deed that is required for the transfer to the nominee(I'm the legal nominee in society records).

As the nomination is clearly mentioned in society records ...still i have to get the signatures of my step daughter for relinquishment deed?

Yes. you are only nominee in the society and it is for society only. regarding the properties your husband had and died without a will, then your step-daughter also have equal rights over the properties. in that circumstances your stepdaughter can relinquish her rights over the properties to other legal heirs.

The property belonged to your late husband. Though your step daughter, she is the daughter of your husband. Obviously, she is the legal heir to her father.
