Is succession certification mandatory property registration

The reason you are advised to have a succession certificate is that , being ancestral property even the grandchildren will have birth right on the said property . Hence it is always advisable to obtain a succession certificate on the said property to avoid problems in future. " Buyer Beware" is the principle of law , if you go to courts.

Thanks Mr. Vishnu for your guidance.

One query though, In the event of no grandchildren at the time of sale and given that the existing legal heir(s), i.e. spouse of titleholder (now deceased) willing to do the transfer without the succession certificate and her 2 sons (major) having given a registered release deed to their mother to go ahead to sell the property, will the proposed sale be legally deficient in any nature ?

From the details you have provided, I do not forsee any problems in the proposed sale. Pl make sure the release deed is registered as you are dealing with immovable property.

Thanks Mr. Vishnu for your guidance and Opinion.
