Family property - how to and what papers to acquire

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 24 August 2021 This query is : Resolved
Dear sir/Ma'am:

We lived and still posses a house in a chawl since 1983. My father passed away in 2009 and I am not sure if and where the documents of the house are. The property is due for reconstruction and I would need to prove the ownership of the house. No one in my family knows of any documents. I have electricity, water bill, Ration card, etc. on my mother's name but that I am not sure proves the ownership of the house.

I have today received a notice from MCGM as appendix 8 and the officer explained that the sub engineer would visit the premise to verify the documents - which I suppose is basis request/complaint of the builder that intends to redevelop the property.

What documents/response should I have for this officer? and How should I go about searching/requesting the details of the property? I have just received the CTS No. through the notice from the MCGM, would the CTS number be helpful in acquiring the property details?

Thank you.

Is it really a legal problem for consideration and obligation of experts on this platform ?

Yes. It is not a legal query. You may try in the Sub Registrar Office concerned by applying a copy of the document if registered in your father's name.
