Sir
I am caught up in a complicated situation and I am trying hard to find a solution.
My father bought 1.5 grounds in Chennai city in 1966 and built a house on it. He passed away in 2001 leaving behind his daughter, wife and son (me) but no will. We are the legal heirs of this property. The house is still in his name.
My mother and sister have released their share of the property in separate Release deeds in 2010. My mother has also written a will in my favour.
The situation I have is:
1. Can I sell this house? Is there any time limit after release deed execution that I need to wait? Do I need to transfer the house in my name or do I automatically become the owner of the property?
2. For plan approval, in case of building a new house by demolishing the existing property, should I transfer the patta and property in my name? Will there be any problem in future that can be legally challenged by the In-laws and minor son of my sister?
Please clarify as I am kind of stuck trying to resolve this.
Thanks.
