What steps must I take to receive inheritance from India?
My father left his property in India to my siblings and me. The property is being sold, and I live in the US as a US citizen. What steps must I take to receive my inheritance?
The succession process begins with making all the legal heirs in the list, during which your siblings are also in the list. You will be required to obtain necessary documents such as a death certificate and any will there may be. Then, you file a succession certificate petition in a local court. This will, after that, create legal entitlement to the said property, after which the record of the property will also be updated regarding the ownership change. Since you are from the US, you should consider consulting an attorney who deals with cross-border inheritance issues so that the process goes smoothly.
Sir, if property is being sold then you has a right of inheritance of property as per Indian law but there might be some legal implications as you have US citizenship and there might be some legal implications imposed on selling of property. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you to navigate the complexities of your matter. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
