Transfer of property title - inherited land
Q: I have a flat that I inherited from my father. I have the property tax, utilities and all else in my name but I want to transfer the title (the deed) into my name. Has anyone gone through this: curious as to how much the registration cost for the title transfer and how hard the process was?
Hi Davos, as per ur presentation the subject property is a flat which is very much immovable property and since u kept silent about the legal heirs of your deceased father. If you are only child and there is no heir not even ur mother, you need to get an affidavit of legal heirship from Ld 1st Class Magistrate or Executive Magistrate and you can mutated ur name in the records of local authorities with the help of your father's title deed and affidavit of legal heirship from Ld 1st Class Magistrate or Executive Magistrate.Any help please tell me

Hi Davos, documents needed to transfer title of inherited property are a registered will and a succession certificate. As per legal requirement, a Will can just be written on a plain piece of paper. However, registration makes it a valid document that can be presented in the court.In the absence of a Will, the heirs would need to obtain a Succession certificate from the court. Original purchase deed of property and registration documents. In case of old properties, the original purchase deed may not be available. In such cases, you would need to procure certified copies of the title deed from the jurisdictional registrar's office.
