March 6, 2025 at 6:11 amMy grandfather had a house, and he had three children—two sons and one daughter. He passed away, and it seems like some legal papers were made that include only the two sons’ photos and signatures, making it look like a property transfer after death.However, when I checked online records, the house is still under my grandfather’s name. Does this mean the property was never legally transferred? Also, does the daughter have any rights to the house?
Would love to understand how property transfer works in such cases. Any legal insights would be appreciated!

March 6, 2025 at 6:16 amDepends, if it’s a ancestral property, everyone can stake claim.If your grandfather made a will before dying, then only he could decide who gets it.
Wife, sons and daughters can stake claim in it

March 6, 2025 at 6:54 amIt’s a self acquired property.Is your grandfather a hindu?
In that case, the Hindu succession act will come into play.
Class 1 heirs are wife, sons, and daughters(even married ones).

March 6, 2025 at 8:02 amFor self acquired property, Class 1 heirs only come into play if there is no will. Or there wasn’t a gift deed done while he was alive. No Update on online records does not nullify the gift deed.-
