Why Is Ownership Transfer Necessary?<\/h2>\n

When a property owner dies, ownership does not automatically move to the family member living in the flat or even to the nominee. Instead<\/strong>, the legal heirs must transfer ownership according to the applicable succession laws.<\/p>\n

Only after<\/strong> the legal heirs complete this process can the legal owner sell the property to a new buyer. Otherwise<\/strong>, buyers may face registration issues, ownership disputes, or future legal complications.<\/p>\n

Therefore<\/strong>, always verify the ownership transfer before purchasing any inherited property.<\/p>\n
