My husband, who passed away five years ago, owned a shop. He didn’t transfer ownership to me before his death, and we didn’t make a will. My two sons, aged 35 and 29, are happy for me to inherit the shop. The society wants a court order for the transfer. What steps and costs will be involved to legally transfer the shop into my name?

You’ll need to file a Succession Certificate application in the appropriate court. This will involve legal fees and court costs. The court will consider your sons’ consent and other legal heirs’ claims, if any, before granting the certificate, which will legally transfer the shop to your name.

Previous Article I’m a Christian from India and was arranged married 10 years ago to a woman from the same community. Sadly, we separated shortly after and got a divorce through a notarized agreement. She even acknowledged this in court documents. I’m now seeking a formal divorce declaration under the Family Court Act. However, she’s refusing to cooperate and wants to make things difficult, claiming my case isn’t legally sound. The judge rejected her application because I provided strong evidence of customary divorce practices within our community. Can I still get a divorce declaration under these circumstances?
