Hello,
My father got a property in 1989 from a window lady who doesn't have any kids. As the "house patta" was delayed by the government, we paid all the amount (made a sale agreement with the lady) and waited for the goverment to provide the document. Last year gorvernment announced that the document can be collected by paying some extra money. We paid the extra money (because as per the sale agreement, any extra cost should be beared by us) and collected the receipt in the owner's name. When we went to the owner's home to take her, collect the documents and register under our name, it was devastating news that she is no more. Under these circumstances what can we do? (as the government will provide documents only in the original owner name).
We also heard that some of the lady's auntys kids (since the lady dont have immediate kids) filed a in case in court that all of the lady's property should be inheritied to them. Also, it seems that one of them went and apprached the govt office to provide the patta of the house in their name. But the officer asked for legal certificate that she is the successor.
Given the situation above, can someone please assist me in this regard.
