Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the process of buying property from legal heirs. It confirms that the immediate family members listed on a MRO's Family Member Certificate are generally authorised to sell the property. However, it also highlights potential risks if the deceased had a second family, as children from such a union may have inheritance rights. Buyers are advised to conduct thorough due diligence, potentially engaging an advocate to examine revenue records and ensure no other claimants exist, and to include protective clauses in the sale deed.

As the MRO's certificate, the wife, son, and daughter of the deceased can execute the sale deed. 2. Can anyone say whether he had 2nd wife. It is an unnecessary thought. If you think so, she has no right over the property.

Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 29 January 2022
( 1 ) yes, deceased legal heirs as per certificate issued by MRO have right to execute sale deed.
( 2 ) second wife if any, has no authority ( as she has no legal status of wife ) to execute sale deed of deceased property

Thankyou Satyanarayana and Bhartesh Sir - Initial part of the query got clarified.
Also understood his 2nd wife has no authority.

Final query need your help to understand

Let's assume if he had a 2nd wife, both deceased party and his surviving 2nd wife had a children, whether those children have right in the property.

kavksatyanarayana (Expert) 29 January 2022
Yes. If 2nd wife has children through the deceased person, then they have right over the property.

Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 29 January 2022
Yes, second wife's children ( illegitimate ) from deceased person have also right over property.

kiran (Querist) 29 January 2022
ok, thank you Satyanarayana and Bhartesh sir for the update.
In that case what the sanity/legal binding of the family member certificate issued by MRO which show's only 1st wife, son & daughter and not showing the details of children from his 2nd wife.

1. Are they authorised to sell the property

WHO ELSE DO YOU THINK IS AUTHROTRISED

2. I have one, how can I make sure whether deceased person doesn't have 2nd wife or children with them.

YOU HAVE GOT SUCCESSION CERTIFICATE IN FRONT OF YOU. YOU CAN AT THE MOST ENGAGE AN ADVOCATE DEALING WITH "DUE DILIGENCE" WHO WILL EXAMINE REVENUE RECORDS AND SATISFY YOUR SELF ABOVE THERE BEING NO OTHER CLAIMANT.

FURTHER YOU MAY ENTER A CLAUSE IN SALE DEED WHEREIN SELLERS UNDERTAKE THAT THERE IS NO OTHER CLAIMANT OF THE DECEASED HAD NO OTHER FAMILY.

Hi Venu sir -
Below is what I am doing.
I am planning to buy a property from Legal heirs, family member certificate issue by MRO include, Wife, Daughter and son names.

Below is my doubt
I have internal doubt, if at all deceased person having other family (2nd wife along with children) and sellers (legal heirs as per family member certificate) are hiding the the fact about 2nd family. What is the sanity/legal binding of the family member certificate issued by MRO.

Isaac Gabriel (Expert) 04 February 2022
Of course. But it is risky that the 2dn wife's siblings could start litigation.

P. Venu (Expert) 04 February 2022
Admittedly, it is only an internal doubt, not a factual or legal issue.
