A.It is legally permissible for a person to purchase immovable property in the name of his spouse from his known sources but the property will be the person purchasing the property and not of the wife/spouse in whose name title deeds exist.

A.Hi,

According to a Delhi HC's judgement and the amended provisions of the Benami Transactions Act, it is legally permissible for a person to purchase an immovable property in the name of his spouse from his known sources but the property will be person purchasing the property and not of the wife/spouse in whose name title deeds exist.
However, you may file for file evidence of death, such as an affidavit, to show transfer of the property and can follow up the procedure for sale.

A.After demise of wife her property is inherited by her husband and children. So being legal heir get the property mutated in your name, only then you can be able to sell the property. For getting property mutated you shall be firstly required to obtain succession certificate or letter of administration from court of law and if your wife has left any WILL then you shall be required to obtain probate in respect of WILL.
