Joint Property, Inheritance etc.

AnonymousLLB 23 Jun 2014, 18:20

My friend is the sole heir of a property, a residential house, built by her grandfather during 1930’s. Her grandfather had four children— three daughters and a son (my friend’s father). When her parents (she is their only child) got married in 1980’s, both her grandparents and one of her aunt had passed away. This aunt was the only sister who had married, but died a premature death without having either a biological or an adopted child.My friend’s father and her other two spinster aunts died subsequently. After my friend’s grandparents’ death,the property was registered in the name of four siblings — one sister being married at that time.Now after all four siblings have passed away, my friend wants to register the property in her and her mother’s name.The problem is that she neither had any proof of the death of her only married aunt, nor any contact with her husband (whether he is still living, she does not know).How does she prove legally that she is the only heir of this property, and her married aunt had no children?
