Mutuation of house property is mandatory before Executing a WILL ?
2 years ago
A person(Female, Named : Asha) who is the only child inherites property from her mother through the WILL in 1960.
Since Asha is the only child of her mother. that property becomes her self-acquired property ? am i correct ?
All the utility bills (like electricity, LPG, water) is on Asha's name, however Asha didn't mutated the property in munciple office after acquiring it from her mother in 1960.
Now Asha has executed a REGISTERED WILL in 2003 in favour of her 1 Child (among 7 others childs) who stayed with her for last 20 years :
Does that WILL be considered as valid even she didnt mutated it on her name in munciple office ?
(or the munciple office mutation is mandatory before executing the WILL ?)
(ASHA is now passed away her will is valid ? )
Even undivided portion of share can be bequeathed by way of will. As such Asha can execute a valid Will even without mutation in her name.
I could have explained more if background is known to me. If background is made known in full then legal experts will be in position to understand correctly. Moreso, the background must be in brief.
Please give me FIVE STAR if satisfied by my answers.
Mutation is not legally required in India. It is only important when it comes to sale of property as the property sold need to be updated in government records. Yes will of Asha is valid.
Thank You.
