Hello Experts!
I require your advice with regard to my ancestral property in my native place.
This residential property belongs to my maternal grandmother who passed away 4 years back. She did not write a will for her property. She has acquired this property from her mother in law(will).
My mother is her only daughter, who can legally inherit this property.
After the death of my grandmother, we have a legal heir certificate issued stating that my mother is the only heir of my grandmother. Now we wish to change the khatha of the property to my mother's name, but the authorities are demanding my grandfather's death certificate and a legal heir certificate. We do not have this as my grandfather passed away 70 years back and it is impossible to get this now.
Please advice what can be done in this situation? How can the property be transferred to my mother's name? Is there an alternative by which this property can be transferred to my name, I being the property owner's granddaughter? I suppose there is a Hindu law which states the grandchild is legally the heir of the property....! Please correct me if I am wrong.... need advice ASAP
Thanks
