I have been staying with my father in kandivli – Mumbai. This flat is jointly owned by my father & myself. He is the first name holder in share certificate & my name appears second in it.
Two months back my father died without any will, i approach my society commitee for transmission of shares in my name as sole owner. They asked me to furnish relevant papers to society. I had furnished the following documents
- NOC cum AFFIDAVIT from my brother & sister
- Indemnity bond
- Death certificate
- ULC certificate stating i do not hold any other property in this area.
- Original share certificate
Now my society is asking me to furnish ” SUCCESSION CERTIFICATE” in addition to above documents. I need expert/legal opinion that ” SUCCESSION CERTIFICATE” is required for transferring shares in my name when i am the joint holder of flat & i have submitted the required documents within the 6 months from the death of my father.
