What is the process of inheriting assets after owner's death?

Good afternoon, One of my friend's in-laws passed away leaving behind registered Will bequeathing their immovable property (Apartment in a Condominium in Maharashtra) in their Daughter and her husband's name. Can these inheritors automatically become the owner of the apartment in the Condominium? if not, what is the procedure to be followed to get the Ownership document (Index II) in their name. Thank you in advance for quick response.

Yes, the inheritors can automatically become the owners of the apartment in the condominium if the will is registered and valid. The will must be registered with the sub-registrar's office in the district where the property is located. Once the will is registered, it becomes a public document and can be used to transfer the ownership of the property. for more information contact us on our helpline number.
