Asked by
A property is jointly own by my parent 50/50 and my father passed away last year without leaving a will. The question is, will the property ownership automatically transfer to my mother 100%? Or she need to apply for the transfer?
Besides, can we transfer the 50% property ownership to other family member instead?
We are non muslim.
