transfer of property after one owner's death
1 year ago
In my grandfather's will he gave a certain portion of his land to his youngest daughter (my paternal aunt) and to me...i was a minor at that time and i became a joint owner of the land with my aunt when i attained adulthood. My aunt is unmarried. No other thing was mentioned in the will. My question is after the death of either person does the survivor get the full ownership or would the deceased person's legal heirs equally claim the person's share ?
A.Dear Sir,

A.Dear Client
After the death of the owners the property will devolve to the legal heirs (surviving) of the owners and not to each other unless there are no legal heirs apart from the owners of the property.
