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.
More specific matters handled under Property Law.
Stamp duty, execution and registration before the Sub-Registrar.

Getting revenue records updated into your name.
Removing an unauthorised occupation of your land.
Transferring property within the family, in a form that holds.
Long-term and commercial leases, drafted and registered properly.
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.
