A couple, A (husband) and B (wife) book an apartment and get the provisional allotment letter from the builder mentioning them as the joint owners. Three years after booking the apartment, B expires issueless and interstate.
Initially, on contacting the builder to issue a revised letter of offer mentioning A as sole owner, builder asked A to provide a letter from a competent authority to prove that they were issueless. Now, when A contacted the builder with Family Membership certificate issued by D.M., the builder has demanded succession certificate.
Is builder justified in demanding succession certificate in this case because here A succeeds B and becomes full/sole owner? As per the advice given in this post -https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/forum/details.asp?mod_id=17478&offset=1#.UHHkvpg3uh0, the builder is bound to delete B's name on production of death cerificate?
