In the case of grandchildren from maternal grandmothers, you have the right to claim the share of your deceased mother. Section 6 of India's Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 195 ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

Additionally, if a property is built on SRA land, there is a lock-in period of 10 years during which the ownership or title transfer by sale or gift is restricted. The owner of the property cannot transfer its title ...ReadMore

Disputes between tenants and landlords are typically resolved under the applicable Rent Control Act, where a Rent Controller or Additional Rent Controller is appointed to handle disputes arising from rental agreements.

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

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


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, wh ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client, '

The buyer's approach to inflate the property value in the agreement for sale is both unacceptable and legally impermissible. A bank approves a home loan after thorough scrutiny of various factors, including the applicant's annual income, credit score, repayment capacity, property market value, certified property valuer's assessment, title and encumbrance status. Proposing an inflated property value for the agreement to secure a larger loan is deemed unethical and immoral. This ac ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

Once a Relinquishment deed is registered, it typically cannot be revoked by the person who initially relinquished their claim unless certain circumstances arise. However, a co-owner who transferred the property can revoke the deed if they were coerced, influenced, or if fraud was involved. The cancellation of a Relinquishment deed requires the consent of all parties involved, and if there is disagreement, legal action in civil court may be necessary. It's important to note that su ...ReadMore
