Death of your family member can be devastating and on top of it, figuring out the documents & transferring the property can be a complex affair.

Since you are here, we are going to explain the detailed procedure to transfer the property from a deceased family member

To transfer the property from the deceased, we need to obtain two important documents. They are,

  2. Khata Transfer

Let us set the context based on a real example:
