Reading: My grandfather registered a property in my mother’s name, using her maiden name. However, she’s married now and the name on the registration doesn’t match her current ID. Since she doesn’t have any official documents with her old name, how can we update the property registration and ensure she can claim ownership?

Your mother can apply to the relevant registrar for a correction in the property registration document, providing her marriage certificate as proof of name change. She should also submit an affidavit affirming her identity and the change in name. This will ensure the property registration reflects her current identity and secures her ownership rights.
