My Mother had misplaced her property document and i filed a police complaint about the missing document last month. I also got acknowledgement from police and went ahead with a settlement deed to my name last week. The settlement deed mentions that since the document was missed by mother, she is handing over the certifed copy.
Now i got a certificate from Police that the document is not traceable dated this week and i understand now that i need to provide a public notice in a English and local daily news paper through an advocate asking for claims by giving 7 days time. After that i need to get the certificate from lawyer and then proceed with an affidavit.
Now the question i have is, Since the property is now in my name, under what name the adv should be published and who is provide an affidavit ? my mother or myself ? Please note that in sale deed its metioned that my mother has missed the document and hence she is handing over the certified copy.
Please help.
