No objection certificate from legal heirs for transfer of property in India
Legal heirs must know the procedure involved to obtain ownership of a property after the death of a person in whose name it is registered. While in the presence of a will, the process is easy. Legal heirs can also challenge a will if the property was inherited instead of self-acquired. However, in the absence of a will, the succession law comes into play. A no objection certificate (which is NOC full form) from other legal heirs, along with an affidavit, is one of the documents that will be required for the transfer of a property. If one has paid any consideration, in kind or cash, to any heir or claimant for acquiring their share, then it must be mentioned in the transfer papers. Further, one needs to register the release deed for the transfer of share.

With the implementation of Hindu Succession Act, 1956, a woman in a family has been allowed to claim her share in a property equally unless there is a will executed by the father for the division of the property. As per a recent amendment, women born before the year 2005 have the right to claim the property. However, there are still many cases where women do not claim a share in their father’s property. In such cases, a no objection certificate becomes essential when her share needs to be entitled to one of the family members, through the process of division of assets. The transfer of property can be done by signing a no objection certificate for property transfer. The other way is through executing a relinquishment deed.
Thus, if a legal heir wishes to give up his or her claim in the share of a property, the person has to provide a NOC certificate in favour of family members who are the other legal heirs mentioning the same in the document. The children of this person will not have the right to make a claim over the said property in future.

Besides establishing that there is no objection, an NOC can also be produced in a court of law and can be used to prove your innocence, if you happen to be caught up in a legal tangle.
