My parents co-owned a flat in a co-operative housing society in Dadar East in Mumbai. They both have passed away and have not left any will behind. We are 3 sisters and have the papers of the flat that states co-ownership of our parents. How do we get this flat registered under our names?

Your parents both expired intestated, i. e. without leaving a will then in such a case, ownership of the flat would devolve upon heirs of your parents. If you 3 sisters are the only heirs of your parents the ownership would devolve upon all 3 of you. You could apply to the Society with necessary transfer forms and documents for effective transfer of the flat in your names . However, a succession certificate is to be obtained from court for the same to avoid any future problems
