Being a Hindu widow with only a daughter, I want to ensure my flat goes to her smoothly after I’m gone. I’m worried about legal complications, even with a will. Could I gift her the flat now and have her register it in her name after my passing, without needing anyone else’s approval?

You can gift the flat to your daughter now, but registering it in her name after your passing will require a legal heir certificate and court approval. This process ensures transparency and prevents potential disputes. It’s advisable to consult a lawyer to understand the legal intricacies and ensure a smooth transfer.
