Succession of property.

Hi everyone,

My question is that i have a pagri system property in the name of my late grandfather. He had four sons, my late father was the second. for past 36 years my father and later i am paying all the rent and other dues. now the building is going under re development. when i asked the landlord about transferring the said shop in my name he is saying i ll have to get the signatures of other heirs. None of my uncles nor my father are alive nor any of the family members are in touch with me, i dont even know where they all live. So in this case what should i do as this matter will certainly escalate after the redevelopment starts. Please help me in solving this matter, i will be needing your precious guidance in solving this matter.

Thanking You.

Sir,

If you have, in your possession; [1] rent receipts, [2] electricity bills, [3] sales tax and/or income tax assessment orders, [4] shops & establishment registration, [5] any postal correspondence at the address, and other evidences of your occupation at the shop, you should approach the owner and the developer and request them to transfer the premises to your name.

Alternatively you may approach the Small Causes Court with a Declaratory suit to transfer the rent receipt to your name.

Good Luck
