Can we change names on Sale deed before land registration. Can we change names on Sale deed before land registration.

1 month ago

I have booked a plot along with my spouse and I'm the one making all the payments. Although the sale deed has been made on both our names. My question is can we change and make myself as sole owner at the time of registration. Will it be possible to remove the name once the sale deed has been made.

Thank you in advance.

A.Dear Client,

If you wish to change the buyer's name in the sale deed before its execution and registration with the registering authority, you can do so, but it is subject to a revision in the Agreement to Sell that was initially executed between the buyers (you and your spouse) and the sellers/builders at the time of booking the flat. Failing to update the agreement may lead to disputes in the future.

To effect this change, you would typically need to cancel the earlier Agreement to Sell, which was jointly executed by you and your spouse. Following the cancellation, you would then need to execute a revised Agreement to Sell directly between you and the seller. This process ensures that the correct buyer's name is reflected in both the agreement and the subsequent sale deed, avoiding any potential legal issues or disputes in the future.

It's advisable to seek legal guidance and involve relevant parties, such as the seller or builders, to ensure the proper and legal execution of the revised agreement and subsequent sale deed.

A.Dear Client,
You can change the buyer's name in the sale deed before its execution and registration with the registering authority subject to revision in the Agreement to Sell executed between the Buyers and the Sellers/Builders at the time of booking of the flat otherwise it may be a cause of dispute in the future. So, you have to cancel the earlier agreement to sell jointly executed by you and your spouse and execute a revised agreement to sell to be executed between you and the Seller. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.
