What is Letter of Administration?
Letter of Administration, upon death of a person or leaving his property without assigning any legal heirs for that property will arise the question who will be the owner for that property. In that case a person who feel that he/she is eligible to be legal heir for that property can apply for the Letter of Administration to the local court. After the property inquiry, if the court satisfied it will appoint that person as the owner for that property.

My 2 sisters and I – all residing in Australia – are legal heirs of our deceased mum’s flat in Pune ie the share certificates of the flat are in our names.
We wish to give Power of Attorney to a distant relation of ours to sell the property on our behalf. Please advise what we need to do?
We are told that the PoA needs to be given to blood relatives only and we have none. Also neither of us have any intention to travel to Pune in the next few years.
Please advise course of action as different people advise us different things and in the process the flat is lying vacant for several years.
thanks

We successfully obtained an interim injunction against sale, transfer or creating of third party rights in a case, wherein I am a legal heir and where my other brother and sister along with and in connivance of the housing society, were trying to sell and transfer the flat. We will obtain
the permanent injunction. What is the next step? Do we apply for a letter of administration or a partition suit? In letter of administration, they may oppose, as they are extremely greedy. In partition suit, they do not have that facility.
How long will each of these cases take for a judgment?

The Death person execute the WILL & CODICIL. while the executor probating the WILL & CODICIL. The WILL has converted into (TOS) Testamentary Original Suit.
Then, all parties including executor coming under the compromise. All Beneficiaries and executor went to Lok Ada lat Court, and filed the compromise memo. All beneficiaries and executor shared the property as per what we compromise.
LOK ADA LAT verified. Then the AWARD PASSED as DECREE.
Now the question is
Again the executor is going to court to Obtain Letter of Administration.
the court will be granted or not?
