House bought in 1979 House bought in 1979

My grandfather had bought a house in my Grandmother's name in 1979. There is a registered sale deed but the title of ownership of the house never changed to Grandmother's name. Is it possible to have it changed now?

A.Dear Client,

If both the grandfather and grandmother are alive, it is feasible. In the event of the grandfather passing away without leaving a will, the Hindu law of succession dictates that all legal heirs have an equal entitlement to a share in the property.

A.Dear Client,
It is possible if both grandfather and grandmother are alive. If your grandfather passes away intestate, then all legal heirs are entitled to an equal share in the property following the provision of the Hindu law of succession. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.
