Old Property Issue Owner Is Dead.
2 years ago
Sir/Medam, I have a property in Maharashtra District Jalgaon, Its a small house (kaccha makaan) which my grandmother buyed from a lady 40 years ago without any paper work, and from then onwards our family paying tax to the government regularly on the name of that lady who is dead (from whom my grandmother brought the house) Even today the name the tax receipt is the same. Now we we want to change the name of the document and buy the property officially with legal paperworks , Also she was the House owner that lady who has died and our plot owner is different, So what we have to do now we want to demolish that old house and want to built a new house there with all the new documents. And we dont know any of the Nominees of the old lady nor we dont know who is the owner of that land we only know there names. And since its the matter of 40+ years I dont think that any of them are alive. So what should be the approch in this case please guide me. Thankyou so much for reading
The very step is to check the background of the property. As you have mentioned you only know their names, it is recommended to try to contact them or their legal heirs and brief them on how you got the property and are paying the taxing since then. Just paying taxes will not always guarantee ownership rights if the property is not in your name. If they do not agree, then you need to proceed legally in order to claim this property by filing a suit but the court will require you to furnish any validity of you buying that land and tax receipts.
Thank you.
