Practice Area
Property is the largest transaction most Indian families ever make, and also the one most often done on trust. Property law covers everything from verifying that a seller actually owns what they are selling, to registering the transfer, to fighting for possession when someone will not hand it over.
The bulk of property litigation traces back to something skipped at the buying stage — an unverified title, an unregistered agreement, a missing succession record. A property lawyer costs far less before the purchase than after the dispute.
Tap a matter to see the lawyers who handle exactly that, not just the broad area.
Stamp duty, execution and registration before the Sub-Registrar.
Tracing the ownership chain before you pay for a property.
Drafting terms that protect you if the deal goes wrong.
Rent, notice and eviction under your state’s rent-control law.
Dividing co-owned property by deed or through the court.
Getting revenue records updated into your name.
Removing an unauthorised occupation of your land.
Transferring property within the family, in a form that holds.
Assessment disputes and arrears with the municipal authority.
Long-term and commercial leases, drafted and registered properly.
If any of these describe your situation, it is worth speaking to a lawyer early.
Title verification and a properly drafted sale agreement prevent almost every dispute that follows.
Eviction follows the rent-control law of your state, and the notice has to be right.
A partition suit divides jointly held property by metes and bounds, or by sale and division of proceeds.
An injunction can stop construction while the boundary dispute is decided.
Mutation and revenue-record corrections after an inheritance or a purchase.
Possession delays and construction defects have their own, faster remedies under RERA.
Bringing these to the first consultation saves a hearing later.
Every matter differs, but most follow roughly this sequence.
The chain of ownership is traced, the encumbrance certificate examined, and any litigation pending on the property identified.
The agreement or deed is drafted with the payment schedule, possession date and consequences of default spelt out.
Stamp duty is computed and the instrument registered before the Sub-Registrar. An unregistered sale deed transfers nothing at all.
Revenue records are updated in your name and physical possession is handed over — or enforced through court where it is withheld.
An agreement to sell can be enforced for specific performance even if unregistered, but it does not transfer ownership. A sale deed for immovable property must be registered under the Registration Act, 1908; without registration, no title passes.
It is a record from the Sub-Registrar of every registered transaction on the property over a period, revealing mortgages, prior sales and attachments. Buying without checking it is how people end up paying for property already pledged to a bank.
Contested partition suits commonly run several years, because they involve tracing the family tree and valuing the property. A partition by mutual agreement, recorded through a registered partition deed, avoids all of it.
Yes, but the power of attorney must be specific, properly executed and — if made abroad — notarised or attested at the Indian consulate and then adjudicated for stamp duty in India. A general power of attorney does not by itself transfer ownership.
Fees vary by the lawyer and the complexity of your matter. Each lawyer lists their consultation fee on their profile, so you can pick one that suits your budget before reaching out.
