Hello,

Your father is the legal heir for your unmarried sister. You have to get legal heirship certificate from court to transfer your sister's wealth, bank balance and plot in your father's name.

I opine that if an unmarried Hindu female died intestate, then her property whether immovable or movable shall be devolved upon her parents (both father and mother), As the mother is no more, her share devolves to her legal heirs.

well explained by expert Kavaksatyanarayan.i agree with him .Parents will be legal heirs of unmarried deceased sister and property rights devolved to them.Since mother is no more so mother's share will go to her legal heirs.
