My grandfather passed away three years ago and we’re facing a bit of a dilemma. The house is still registered in his name, but we’d like to change the electricity bill to someone else’s. He had three sons, so we’re not sure who the bill should be transferred to. Could you please clarify the legal process and the necessary documents for this change?

Under Indian law, the electricity bill can be transferred to any of your grandfather’s legal heirs, including his sons. You will need a copy of the death certificate, property documents, and a notarized letter from the legal heirs authorizing the transfer to the chosen individual. The electricity department may have specific forms and procedures for the transfer.
