Why you need it

When you need it

When a borrower dies with a loan outstanding, an heir informs the lender without signing an undertaking that makes them personally liable for the whole debt. Lender rights over the property/estate continue under the loan documents and succession law. A deceased guarantor's guarantee is revoked by death for future transactions only (s.131). State the death, account, heirs, succession status and servicing proposal — and whether the heir is coordinating the estate or becoming the new borrower.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

A residuary agreement, Article 5, Schedule I-A (Punjab and Chandigarh) — a fixed sum, not %; ask the Sub-Registrar. Sworn on oath, it's an Article 4 affidavit instead. Not a guarantee or novation — don't word it as one.

Registration

Not registrable (s.17) — no property interest created. Charging property too makes it a mortgage: registered, two witnesses (s.59, TPA 1882), unless by deposit of title deeds.

Notarisation

Only if the lender wants a sworn/attested form.

Witnesses

Contractual, not s.59's statutory witnesses — follow whatever the lender requires.
