when there is no will, the deceased is said to have died intestate. Then the Hindu Succession Act ( for hindus) and Indian Succession Act ( for others) apply.
One needs to get succession certificate from the competent court and get the property mutated in their names.

Well the reply of my friend is exhaustive. YOu have to apply for legal heir certificate and you also have to file SOP for the properties.

For immoveable properties
An application to the Municpality with Death certificate of the deceased and a declaration that your are the only heirs should be enough. The Municipality will verify and transfer to property into your jont name.
For moveable property like bank deposits, shares, and the like
you need a succession certificate from competent court of law.

Dear Kruthika,
It is my suggestion that always provide the facts in toto at the first instance. It would be easier for the hon expert members to give accurate and better opinion.
