Property tax name transfer in corporation
1 year ago
My maternal grandmother and grandfather jointly owned a home in Kalyan since 1990. Grandfather expired in 2011 and grandmother expired in 2019. My mother is there only child. Grandmother had created a will in Gujarati language to transfer all her assets to her daughter including the home. The will was notarized but not registered. Grandmother's home is transferred to her daughter in the society but we want to also update the same in corporation records to get property tax on mother's name.Corporation is not accepting the will (citing the reason of will being in Gujarati as well as unregistered) and asking for a succession certificate.
* Is it a valid ask from corporation ?
* Does will's language matter and registration mandatory to transfer the property in corporation?
* Isn't there any other way such that the current will is acceptable for transferring the name in corporation record?
The will can be registered in any language provided it should not be ambiguous. The will should be specific and clear. The copy of a Will certified under the seal of a court of competent jurisdiction with a grant of administration of the estate of the testator will update in the corporation record.
Whenever there is will then after the demise of the will maker the will needs to be prorated by the competent court. Once the probate is doen then on that basis the corporation will update all the records
The language of the will is not a problem.
Registration is not mandatory for a will.
