This query is : Resolved
My grandfather during his lifetime made a registered will in which he clearly states that after his death me (grandson) will be the only owner of his entire property and his daughter don't have any share in his property but now after my grandfathers death my Aunt (My grandfather s daughters) is claiming that half of the property belongs to her. Also my father died during my grandfather s lifetime and in my family me my mother my wife and 2 kids. Sir please suggests what to do. In order to transfer house tax to my name I contacted Municipality and they send one notice to my Aunt and she send letter to municipality that they can't put my name alone in the documents and she have objection.

The beneficiary may approach the authority under whose jurisdiction property falls and complete the forms for transfer of property.
Death certificate, certified copy of the WILL may be required to be attached.
If the WILL is contested probate from court of pecuniary jurisdiction may be required.
Your able counsel can help you further.

Proceed as advised, if the Municipality is not transferring the property record as per registered will, may approach court.

First of all it is to be seen whether the property which was included in the will was self acquired property of your grand-father or was ancestral in his hand. If the former situation is there, you need not worry and give a legal notice to the municipality to enter in their record your name in place of your grand-father on the basis of will failing which file a civil suit and in the situation of latter, the will cannot sustain on the filing of the civil suit by your aunts and in that event you shall inherit only the share of your father.

Obtain mutation record and all link documents from revenue records and check nature of property is self acquired or ancestral.
Submit requisite forms/enclosures ( of course under proper acknowledgment) for change of ownership/title ( not just for property tax) to the authority and complete the procedure.
If you are unable to handle on your own entrust to your able counsel specializing in revenue/property/civil matters.
