I am planning to buy a flat in a cooperative society in Mumbai. The case details are as below
a) The flat was in the name of a member who expired in 2009
b) Nomination exists in the favour of 2 children with equal share
c) The nominees have made an application to the society to transfer the flat in their respective names in March 2011
d) The flat is now up for sale but now the society is saying that the current owner cannot sell the flat till November 1st 2011 citing Section 29 (2) of Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 (MCS Act) :
A member shall not transfer any share held by him or his interest in the capital or property of any society, or any part thereof, unless -
(a) he has held such share or interest for not less than one year
Pls advise if I can enter into the deal basis any legal document as mitigant to safeguard ny interests
Thanks
