Dear Client,

It is compulsory to get legal heir certificate from revenue officials. It is also compulsory to get Release deed executed in favour of your mother releasing or relinquishing your rights of your share in the property in question. Release deed means you declare in a document t that you don't have any right title and interest in the property in question your releasing or relinquishing all YOUR rights in the property in question in favour of your mother. It should be sufficiently stamped and registered and along with your signature and your mother's signature it has two witness signatures, who have seen you executing the release deed.Municipal corporation OFFICE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR RELEASE DEED.
