Reading: My father gifted his property (bought in 1976) to my grandmother (my mother’s mother) in 1987. Then, my grandmother gave my mother the authority to sell the property in 2000. My mother is the sole inheritor and we’ve always paid taxes, bills, and maintained the property, even collecting rent. Now, my mother wishes to sell it. What’s the quickest and most straightforward way to proceed? Some suggest getting a new legal heirship certificate (ration card is unavailable), while others advise mutation, probate of will, or legal administration. I’m confused. We have a potential buyer who needs documents for legal verification.

The most straightforward way to proceed is to obtain a new legal heirship certificate as your grandmother gifted the property to your mother in 2000. This certificate will establish your mother’s ownership and inheritance rights, allowing her to legally sell the property. Mutation may be required for registering the ownership transfer, but a legal heirship certificate is essential for the buyer’s legal verification.
