Nominee an absolute owner

Yes. Now she is the absolute owner and she is free to sell the property as per her choice.

she can but other LRs shold not have any objection to sell as she is not a absolute owner.

How she was nominated? If it was by will or gift she can be absolute owner,otherwise in absence,simply because her name is shown as owner in the society,she cannot be absolute owner and she can sell the property with the consent of all the sharers.

Mr. Jitendra is right. Nomination does not mean transfer of ownership.

 The Nominee is only a Trustee, entitled to receive the property on behalf of the legal heirs. Especially since the owner dies intestate - It is in order for the society to register the flat in favour of the nominee, based on the nomination in its records. However, it is the duty of the nominee to distribute the property/proceeds in the proportion to the legal heirs, as per the personal law, viz. Hindu Succession Act or the applicable law. Even recently the High Court of Bombay has reaffirmed this principle.

I do agree with niranjan. She is not absolute owner of the property in the given case and she has only share therein legally hence all legal heirs/now owners can sell that property as per their repsective shares.

Here the mother, though nominated by her husband,becomes owner of the flat to her corresponding share. If the flat is self acquired in that case the nomination will create ownership rights in favour of mother. If the flat is ancesteral property then the rights of other LRs to be exercised as per the Personal suceesion laws applicable to them.
