Quick Summary

If your parents have passed away and you wish to add your name to their property records, you'll need to obtain a legal heirship certificate from the court. Alternatively, in some regions, the Revenue Department can issue these certificates. Following this, the property can be transferred into your name, often involving dividing the land and registering a settlement deed.

Hello,

You have to get legal heirship from court. Thereafter you can transfer the property in your name.

In some states, the Revenue dept is empowered to issue legal heir certificates on the production of such application with an original death certificate and then all legal heirs of deceased have to divide the land into metes and bounds for such shares in each name, get the settlement deed registered in the name of individual co-sharers and file application with such fees for mutation in Revenue records.

I agree with the advise of expert Mr. GLN Prasad, obtain surviving member certificate from area SDM / Tehsildar, divide the properties among all LRs of deceased and get it recorded / documented as a family settlement (if there is no will, which may not be applicable in your case)
