1. Selling a Jointly Owned House: My brother and I own a house together. Can I sell my share of the property without his permission? Can I build a wall to separate my portion and sell it independently? 2. Wills & Inheritance: What’s the procedure for making a will in India? How can I verify the authenticity of a will? If someone passes away without a will, who inherits their property, and how do they claim their share? 3. Lost Sale Deed: I’ve lost the sale deed for my property. How can I get a copy of the ownership details?

1. You cannot sell your share of the jointly owned house without your brother’s consent unless a specific agreement exists stating otherwise. Building a wall to separate your portion and selling it independently would also require his agreement as it impacts the shared property.

2. To make a will in India, you need to write it down, sign it, and have two witnesses sign it. You can verify the authenticity of a will by registering it with the Sub-Registrar’s office. In the absence of a will, the property is inherited by legal heirs according to the Hindu Succession Act or the Indian Succession Act, depending on the religion of the deceased. The legal heirs can claim their share by filing an application for succession certificate.

3. You can obtain a copy of the ownership details from the concerned Sub-Registrar’s office by applying for a certified copy of the sale deed. You can also approach the relevant authorities like the Registrar’s office or the revenue department for assistance.
