Nominee has no independent title over the property. He is a mere trustee and is duty bound to handover the property to the legal heirs of the deceased.

Nominee is trustee of the legal heirs of the deceased in the property in which he is nominated.

True nominee is a trustee simpliciter, if does not come to be recognised as a legal heir of the deceased.he is under obligation to distribute the assets in his hands to the legal heirs of the deceased.In case nominee is also one among legal heirs at best nominee can as of right retain it's share in the assets in his/her hands.
Things and law is so clear that demand of ruling is like to distrust opinion of experts.
Querist who wants opinion with case laws may get in touch of a lawyer personally directly.Expect only what is you expected to expect.
