Reading: Dear Sir/Madam, I’d like to seek some clarity on property rights related to a road issue. We have a registered document (seal paper) stating a road passes through our land connecting the village road to our neighbor’s property. Both parties agree to shift the road’s direction. This means we need to draft a new document reflecting the revised starting point. It will no longer connect to the village road, but will run directly from our land to our neighbor’s. Is it possible to legally cancel the old document in this scenario?

Yes, you can legally cancel the old document. You will need to draft a new registered document reflecting the revised road alignment and have both parties sign it. This new document will supersede the old one and legally reflect the changed road direction.
