A.Dear Concerned,
If land purchased process was under initiated with Registry office and the owner has died , then in that situation legal heirs will have to update the land records with the register with the current owner of such land, and then amendment of such sale deed should be made with current legal heirs. Doing all such apply for registration process.
Thanks

A.It is necessary to insist the present Owners to mutate their names on the basis of that Legal Heir Certificate in the Record of Rights in the place and stead of that deceased person and before that Sale you have to make searching before the concerned Courts to find out whether any Probate proceeding is pending therein. Before purchase,You have to publish Public Notice regarding your purchase in leading Newspaper as well as other legal safeguards.
