Can I transfer the property (flat) in absence of sale deed? My father purchased a house from a builder in 1971. However, he was not well read and did not know what documentation was needed so we do not have either a Sale deed or title or anything that shows that we are the owner of that property. My father died a few years ago and now I want to get the house transferred to my name. However when I applied for the title transfer, the society says that as per their documentation the house still belongs to the Builder.
Builder is a nice person and is willing to help out in any way we need but he does not know what needs to be provided to the Society to complete this. I presume we should not have a sale deed created because I am not buying it. Builder does not have (lost/misplaced) a title deed. How can I initiate a title transfer in this case? What document should I get from the builder so that the society can recognize me as the legal owner?
