How can a Provisional Member Become an Owner of a Property?

Wondering how can a provisional member become an owner of a property? When it comes to property ownership transfer, there are several ways a provisional member (such as a nominee or legal heir) can become the owner of a property. Let’s explore some options:

1. Nomination and Provisional Membership:

   • If the original flat owner has nominated someone (e.g., a family member) in the Nomination Form, the nominee becomes a provisional member.

   • Required documents for provisional membership:

     • Original Nomination Form in Appendix No. 14, filled by the deceased flat owner in the name of the nominee.

     • Nominator’s (deceased flat owner’s) copy of the death certificate.

     • Membership application (Appendix 15) by the nominee.

     • Provisional Membership entrance fee (usually Rs. 100/-).

     • Xerox copies of the nominee’s Aadhar Card and Pan Card.

   • The provisional member has limited rights (e.g., attending General Body meetings) but cannot contest the Managing Committee Election of the Society.

2. Transfer of Ownership:

   • To become the absolute owner, the provisional member needs:

     • Flat owner’s will’s probate or succession certificate of the deceased flat owner.

     • Alternatively, a “Release Deed” on Rs. 500/- Non-Judicial Stamp paper can transfer ownership without costly court documents.

   • Consult your society to understand their specific process.
