Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

I bought a land in the name of my mother 20 years back. Now as she has died i want to transfer it to my name.please suggest the easiest and fastest method to do that. Also i want to know whether my sisters will have any rights over the property as the property is in the name of my mother. i have two elder sisters who are married. And if they do have rights and they claim it, how can i do the transfer without giving them shares as i hav purchased it with my own money and owed the maintainance cost of the property for these 20 years. please suggest.-

Dear Dinesh,

(Badagaon, Puri, Orissa)

For all practical purposes, the land was owned by your mother as the absolute owner. You ought to have got a Will made by your mother for the land that you will be the sole beneficiary of the land after her demise. If there is no Will left behind by your mother that you will be the sole beneficiary of the land after her demise, your sisters legally have a right to claim a share in it. You need to explain to your sisters that you have paid the entire money for purchase of the land and get their no objection to transfer the land in your name.

Regards,
