Do I need to amend the sale deed after relatives' death?

I own a flat jointly with my dad and grandmother. Unfortunately, both of them have passed away. I want to know if the sale deed, which includes my name, my dad's name, and my grandmother's name, needs to be amended now that they have passed, or if I can continue using the original sale deed. If I plan to sell the property later, can I affix the death certificates to the deed and sell the property accordingly? I have already updated the property tax records and removed their names, and the property tax bill and electricity bill are now in my name. Please let me know.

Sir, to sell the property, you need to update the ownership records. First, obtain a Legal Heir or Succession Certificate to establish your right to the property. Attach the death certificates of your father and grandmother to the sale deed. Visit the local sub-registrar office to update the title in your name. Once updated, you can legally sell the property, using the original sale deed with the attached documents. Consult a lawyer for guidance.
