I am a single unmarried woman and own a house in my name. The property was bought in 2004. In the absence of any legal heirs, in order to safeguard the property from my relatives, can I include a trustworthy friend as a co-owner?

Simultaneously, you can also make your Will whereby you can bequeath the remaining 75% undivided right, title and interest in the property in favour of your friend who already owns a certain minimum percentage. This will safeguard your interest of protecting the property from your relatives.
