Rent transfer to spouse after husband death

If your father owned the property in his sole name and did not leave a will, his heirs at law inherit. These are his closest family members. Each state has a statute setting out the order in which relatives inherit, with spouse and children usually first on the list, often followed by the parents and/or siblings. Unlike co-ownership, however, this inheritance doesn't happen automatically.

 If your father owned the property with a surviving spouse, or if he co-owned with another joint tenant, the property may pass automatically to that person when he dies. Once that person shows  proof of her ownership, tenants can pay the rent to her.

1. FIRSTLY operationalise Father's WILL and have the property transferred /mutated in your name, in the Revenue /Municipal records. For this there is no requirement of any NOC or whatever of any other legal heirs, UNLESS other legal heirs challenge Father's WILL on various grounds.

2. Once Property is transferred in your name (by virtue of the WILL), you will be legally entitled to recover /receive the relevant Rent from Tenants etc.... without any legal reference to other legal heirs.

Whether the WILL is Registered.

If it is  a Registered WILL you can get the property mutated to your name  by providing a certified copy of the will with the Death certificate.

You can avail all the benefits arising out of that property by showing the certified copy of the will.

If it is an unregistered will complications may arise.
