Whether property is transfer on the names of all legal heirs?

Title is a legal term; it means the ownership right to property. When search is conducted unto the property of the person who owns it, it is called the Investigation of Title.

Investigation of title commences with the advocate commissioning searches in the offices of the concerned sub-registrar, to find out all documents that are registered relating to the property for the last 30 years. If the relevant documents are not available from the above office, the owner’s advocate is asked to provide copies of the same. Enquiries should also be made from the Municipal Corporation to ascertain whether there are any arrears of property taxes or water charges in respect of property.
