How to transfer Housing Board property if one legal heir absent?

A Housing Board property needs to be transferred, which requires the presence of all legal heirs before the Executive Magistrate along with affidavits/NOCs. However, one of the legal heirs is not appearing or is unable to appear due to very old age. In such circumstances, how can the transfer be completed?

If one legal heir cannot appear due to old age or refusal, the transfer can still proceed through proper affidavit, Special Power of Attorney, or court order. The authority may accept written consent or legal representation. If dispute arises, you may approach civil court for directions or declaration of shares to complete transfer lawfully.
