Learned Experts are requested to kindly enlighten me on the following since I am booking a flat with my friend cum developer who has entered in to a Joint Venture Agreement with a family of 4 brothers at Kolkata. After the J.V. Agreement has been signed one brother, who was ummarried, expired intestate . Now the remaining 3 brothers have produced one gift deed signed by their mother in the names of all remaining three brothers by virtue of which they are claiming that the said three brothers now own the entire property including the portion of land of their expired brother. My questiion is
(1)In the above case, is the mother the sole klegal heir of an unmarried son in case of his death under Hindu Succession Act,1956?
(2) Should the mother now apply for & obtain "Letter of Administration" for owning the land of the dead son?
(3) Should all the brothers also apply for & obtain "Letter of Administration" for owning the land of the dead brother? or Deed of Gift from their mother is enough?
Thank you sirs in advance
