Family Partition suit
2 months ago
We, two brothers, legal heirs have landed property in TNadu. Both of us have equal share in property. Since my brother is not cooperating for partition on an amicable basis, I want to file a partition suit. Guideline value of property is 1 Cr. My share is 50 lakhs. If I have to file a partition suit, what will be the applicable court fee?

The court fee for filing a partition suit is levied on the value of the total area/volume of the property and after the partition of the property, Stamp duty and registration fees on sale are charged on the market value or set forth value (whichever is higher) of the property belongs to each owner post partition. The Court fees and stamp duty are different things applicable for different purposes. Thus, for filing a partition suit court fee shall be a guideline value of the property. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.
