Dear Sir / Madam,

The buyer ought to have got the purchase registered in his name in the record of the Tehsildar / District Registrar at the time of purchase in 1990. However, the buyer will have to complete this process now, if he has to be recognized as the title owner of the property. The Tehsildar / District Registrar may insist that since the Seller is deceased, his legal heirs should sign the registration documents.

Regards,
