3.We are 2 brothers and 2 sisters (total 4 siblings).My brother and both the sisters are now US citizens.
4.My father had nominated each of the siblings 25% of the share as per appx 15(2)
5.For transfer of the flat on my name, as per the advice of of one of the local advocates,the following has been done as per 'The Pune District Co-Operative Housing Federation Ltd':-
i) An Indemnity Bond ( form No18) has been signed by all my siblings.
ii) Each of my siblings have made out an affidavit, notarised indepentally at their respective place of
residence in US.( format/ content being that as applicable where there are more than on nominees/ heirs.
6.The advocate of the Society has opined that the transfer of flat in the ibid manner is bad in law and hence tantamount to being ill- legal.In his opinion the transfer of flat in the subject case is legal only if executed by a relinquishment deed or a gift deed by my siblings.
