A.Dear Client,
Since your grandfather died without leaving any WILL, his property will go in equal share amongst his Class-I heirs viz., his widow (i.e. your grandmother) and his children (your father and his siblings)

First, one has to obtain a legal heir certificate from the Tehsildar by submitting a detailed application indicating all the Class-I heirs left behind by the deceased, their age, and their relationship with the deceased (i.e. wife, son, daughter, mother etc.). The said Application should be accompanied by the Death Certificate.

After making inquiries, the Tehsildar will issue the legal heir certificate.

On the basis of the said legal heir certificate, the legal heirs have to approach the Authorities for mutation of the property in their name.

However, you want that the property should be registered in your father's name. For this, all the other legal heirs have to execute a Registered Relinquishment Deed relinquishing their respective shares in the property in favor of your father. The Relinquishment Deed will involve a very small stamp duty and registration fee.

Once such a Relinquishment Deed is registered, then your father can approach the authorities along with the legal heir certificate and the Relinquishment Deed for getting the property mutated in his name.
