Inheritance Mutation
Definition: Mutation order recording transfer of ownership by death/succession.
In depth
Inheritance Mutation is a Tahasildar order recording the transfer of land rights from a deceased owner to legal heirs. It requires a death certificate, succession certificate (or legal-heir certificate), and an undertaking from non-applicant heirs. Properties without a completed inheritance mutation have stale ROR records and cannot be sold cleanly. The Title Verification report flags any case where the seller is not the latest mutation-order holder.
