Hi,
My Father is the owner of the flat we have which is in a co-operative housing society. He passed away in August, leaving my mother, me and my brother as the legal heirs. For the flat, my Father has registered the nominations as: Mother - 50%, me and my brother - 25% each.
Now, I want to transfer the flat to my Mother's name. For the same, the society has asked to submit the NOC signed by me and my brother. Although, I have already signed it, my brother is not ready to sign the same.
In this scenario, the society says that the flat will then remain under my Father's name forever until my brother sign's on the NOC. Is this true? Isn't there any law which states that my Mother can have the flat in her name if she has the 75% nomination? (I will do the transfer from my 25% to her).
Please help me so that I can easily transfer the flat to my Mother's name without the need of my brother's signature. As far as I know, the flat should be transferred after 6 months of deceased date. So, if that doesn't happen, what happens next? Does the society decide what should be done?
Please help! Thanks.
