My father expired recently and my mother wants to sell off the flat in Kolkata, West Bengal as she is the co-owner. My and brother and I are ok with it. What is the right process to do this so that no


A. Dear Client,

Your father's property was descended upon your mother, you, and your brother, each having an undivided one-third part after his death without making and publishing a Will. In order to change three of your names in the Record of Rights in the place and stead of your deceased father, you'll need a Legal Heir Certificate. You and your brother can legally assist your mother in the Sale procedure by using a registered Gift Deed or a registered Power of Attorney in her name.

Thank you!
