Hello,
There is a property in my area which belongs to a mentally challanged person and she would have died because the property is closed since 10 years. Also there is no one from her family came to claim the property.
In such cases if we wish to buy such property which is lying unclaimed then what steps should we follow to check
1. If there are legal heirs for that property
2. If there are no legal heirs then can we buy such property, if yes then what is the procedure
Regards

If my understanding is correct all such unclaimed properties which has no successor whatsoever eventually vest with the government.
Considering the frivolous litigation concerning immovable properties these days, I would advise you to stay away from such property as it invites such frivolous litigation.
Ascertaining legal heirs by third parties is almost impossible as you would have to first convince the authorities who prepare and issue family trees.
Anyway, its just my advice and opinion, but your call.

Any property without any legal owner will be in the trusteeship of the District Judge of that District.
