My brother was the sole owner of the flat in Mumbai who recently died, leaving behind his wife and no children. The deceased wife is a nominee in the Society's record. I have the following queries:
1. Whether his wife needs to obtain the heirship certificate from the city civil court to get the flat transferred in her name?
2. Whether such an heirship certificate needs to be registered with the Sub Registrar of Assurance and get a fresh Index 2 issued. And then only Society will transfer the share certificate in the name of the deceased's wife?
3. If the answer is yes to question 2, then what document is to be prepared for registration with the Sub Registrar-an Affidavit is sufficient, or any other document?
4. Whether any other mode is available in Mumbai to get the flat transferred in the name of Deceased's wife i.e. to obtain legal membership and not the 'provisional membership' in the Society?
5. Whether a mutation in the revenue records is possible without going for a heirship certificate?
