Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India
My grandfather died intestate and is still the registered owner of his property. My father, his son, has since passed away and did not leave a will. Is it possible for my mother, his daughter-in-law, to apply for the transfer of the property into her and her children's names?

Dear Sir / Madam,
Since your grandfather passed away intestate, his property first vests in your grandmother if she is alive, and only after her, the title of the property vests in the siblings. Yes, your grandmother can transfer the title of the property in the name of your mother vide a Gift Deed if she wishes to transfer the property during her lifetime, or vide a Will if she insists that the property should be transferred only after she is no more.
Regards,
