Property of a dead person

If a father bequeathes his house to his son in his will, an after the father is no more, is it compulsory that the son get the property mutated in his name or the property can continue to be in the dead person's name in the Municipal / land records, and the son can contiue to pay the taxes and keep occupying the house. What are the legal implications if any ?

It is always better to mutate the new owners name in the revenue records for tax purposes.

tax paid recipets are only an indicator of possession, per se they do not confer any title on said taxpayer, if the mutaton entries are not effected, there is wide chance that the property will escheat back to the government.
