Hi. Had a question regarding transfer of property to adopted daughter. My wife is the only child and her parents expired last year. She was an adopted child from a relative and the adoption took place when she was few months old. We live temporarly abroad. Her parents had a made a registerd will transferring their house in her name. The house is in a co-operative society. We inquired about the transfer to the society and we were told that as per HUF law the property can only be transferred to her if there is a no objection ceritificate from two surviving uncles(father brother) and one cousin who lives in the property.
Getting this NOC would not be easy from the relative as most of them were against this adoption. Is this a valid HUF rule or as per will and being her only daughter the property should automatically be transferred in her name.
Would appreciate any responose on this.
