BY reading ur I understood that the main hindrance is created by the builder. am I right? If yes then ask the mother of the deceased to get a affidavit from the court in which it must be clearly mentioned that the mother/father are the legal heirs of the property which was left by their son. after getting this affidavit show this to the builder and then he is bound to provide the property to the mother/father. Again if he do not agree on providing the affidavit then pull him to the court.

The flat should be transferable to the blood relatives of the purchasor who is deceased.

If there was an agreement/contract which you signed at the time of purchasing flat in the construction linked plan, there must be some mechanism in the contract itself for transfer of ownership to nominee or blood relatives in case if death of purchasor. The builder is also bound by the agreement. Usually an affidavit and copy of death certificate made avaialble by municipal authorities are sufficient proof for transfer after death.

Dear Sir,

I consulted a Local lawyer who told me that at the Time of Filing a Declaration Suit(That Mother 7 father are the only Legal Heirs),there is no issue,but at the time of Passing a Judgement,The Court requires Succession Certificate/Probate/Letter of Administration in order to declare Petitioners as Legal Heirs.Kindly clarify about the issue.

Thanks In Advance
