My father passed away last year, leaving behind his self-acquired house in Faridabad. We’d like to transfer ownership to my mother. What’s the process for doing so in India?

You can transfer ownership of the house to your mother through a legal process called “inheritance”. This will involve obtaining a succession certificate from a competent court proving your mother’s legal right to inherit the property and then registering the transfer with the Sub-Registrar’s office in Faridabad.
