Division of properties

My father and mother are both deceased without writing a will.

My sister and I are the only legal heirs.

Property 1 is located in Telangana in my father's name.

Property 2 is located in Andhra Pradesh in my mother's name.

Now, we want property 1 registered in my name and property 2 registered in my sister's name.

How to achieve this?

Can we register separate partition deeds for property in the respective state?

Please advise.

Quick Summary

If your parents have passed away without a will, you and your sister, as the sole legal heirs, can divide their properties. You can achieve this by executing separate registered partition deeds for each property in its respective state, or by entering into a registered family settlement deed. This deed will clearly outline the allocation of each property to each sibling and any associated conditions for the division.

You both can either enter into a registered partition deed or registered family settlement deed by clearly mentioning the allocation of each property to each other properly and the conditions attached to the deed, if any towards the division or settlement of immovable properties by the said deed.
