A. Dear client,
A lease creates a heritable right under the Transfer of Property Act. A license will come to an end on the death of a licensee. On the death of a licensee, his heirs will not inherit the right to continue to use the premises. A lease is assignable but a license is generally non-transferable.

A. Dear Client,
This kind of dispute is commonly found in standalone apartments with 6/7 apartments having no registered Society. So, in the prevailing situation, you need to approach the concerned Civic Authority, Municipal Corporation, and local administration, i.e., the Public Grievance Cell under SDM/DM office to stop the errant personr from commissioning further damage or injury to the co-residents of housing society. You may also consider for service of a legal notice to both the Builder and ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
As per the Hindu Succession Act, being a grandchild, your son can claim a share in his grandfather's property. If your father-in-law passes away leaving the property intestate i.e, without any will, then all the surviving legal heirs are entitled to an equal share in the said property. In that case, your mother-in-law cannot transfer the title of the entire property to her daughter. Such a transfer will be treated as null and void on contest. So, in the absence of the father, his s ...ReadMore

A. Dear client,
You may send a legal notice and file civil suit of recovery along with interest. If the landlord is refusing to return the deposit amount then send him a legal demand notice and after that you can file a money recover suit before civil court.

A. Dear Client,
As per Hindu law of inheritance, children got the right to the property of their parents by birth.

Post your mother's demise, and in case she has not executed any testamentary document(WILL), the p ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Bank or NBFC usually did not approve home loans for purchasing an immovable property through GPA even if it is a freehold property because a GPA cannot transfer the title or interest of an immovable property in favor of the purchaser who applied for a home loan against the said immovable property. In its judgment in 2011, The Supreme Court made it clear that a GPA cannot be used to transfer legal ownership of the real estate. In addition, the Court determined that a power of attorne ...ReadMore

A. Dear client,
It is mandatory that local authorities have to intimate the residents or occupants and issue a notice before demolition. If a prior notice has not been issued to you by the municipal authorities , you have a legal remedy.

1. Send a legal notice asking for damages, this will bring a clarity whether they have sent a notice and you missed it or on what base they have initiated a action causing you such loss.

2. File a civil suit against the action and for damages

A. Dear Client,
The Hindu Succession Amendment Act, 2005 granted equal rights, duties, liabilities, and responsibilities to daughters that were earlier limited to sons. This also means that the daughter's right to both coparcenary and self-acquired property is legal and cannot be contested in Court. Therefore, it is irrelevant whether her father was alive or not or whether she was married or not on the cutoff date of the amendment i.e, September 9, 2005. However, if the father is alive and has tran ...ReadMore
