Hello all,
I have a property which was owned by my brother. He was unmarried and he is deceased now.
He has not left any will. He is survived by his mother, me and a younger brother. THere is a landed property which is in his name and I want to sell that property.
There is no dispute among us regarding the proceeds of selling land or ownership or anything related to it. What is the best way to sell the property and what documents will I need to sell the property.
If experts can please suggest it will be of great help to me. We can all go and sign together while selling as we are the only heirs to the property. I guess my mother is the legal heir as per rules and she is the class I heir to my brother.
I was told that succession certificate is not needed for the sale of such property. Can experts please clarify.
Thanks in advance for your help and advice. Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Chitra

make an application for mutation of property in name of legal heirs . enclose death certificate and copy of NOC from other legal heirs . after property is transferred you may sell it . however please note that if buyer is purchasing property from bank loan bank will insist on succession certificate
