UP RERA has capped the flat transfer fee for legal heirs of unregistered properties at Rs. 1,000. For non-family members, the fee is capped at Rs. 25,000. This aims to curb exorbitant charges by developers and simplify the inheritance transfer process.
In England and Wales, legal heirs need a Grant of Probate (if there's a Will) or Letters of Administration (if no Will) to manage a deceased person's estate, access bank accounts, and sell property, though jointly owned assets may transfer directly.
The Supreme Court ruled that a will cannot be invalidated solely because legal heirs were denied a share, stating that exclusion alone is not a suspicious circumstance unless other factors affect the will's genuineness. The court upheld a will that bequeathed all property to the testator's sister.
In a major relief to producer Boney Kapoor and daughters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, the Madras High Court has dismissed a civil suit filed over a Chennai property that was purchased in the name of late actress Sridevi in 1988. The case revolved around a 2.70-acre land parcel in Sholinganallur, Chennai. The plaintiffs had claimed to be the legal heirs of late MC Chandrasekaran and sought partition rights over the property.
