Dear Sir,
There is one sale deed missing in the chain of dcouments of the re-sale property which we are about to finalise. One of the sellers have not got the Sale deed made and has only agg-to-sell registered. On tracking we came to know that he has expired. Now we have been informed by the lawyer that if we produce his Death Certificate copy it can help to make the purchase clean and the Title in the chain of documents can be cleared of the said property. Can this work ? Will Death Certificate of a person who has not transferred his title of property, confirm that he has not right in the property ? Please guide
