I’m a real estate agent in Hyderabad. A client from Bangkok wanted me to find a rental flat for her mother. Her mother visited the property and liked it. After discussing with her mother, my client contacted me and we started negotiating. I agreed to a 50% brokerage on the rental value. I have all our WhatsApp messages. But, the next day she got the owner’s number online and closed the deal without telling me. Can I take legal action?

Under Indian law, real estate agents are entitled to commission if they introduce a client to a property and the client enters into a transaction. You have proof of your agreement and the client’s actions suggest they were aware of your role. You can pursue legal action for breach of contract and claim your commission.

My family bought a flat in Chennai 20 years ago. We didn’t realize at the time that the sale deed wasn’t registered, although the sale agreement was. It’s not showing up in the EC. We’ve been paying property taxes, water, and electricity bills in our name for all these years. The builder is nowhere to be found. What steps do I need to take to get the sale deed registered in my name? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

My father worked at KPCL and sadly passed away due to illness just a year before his retirement in December 2010. We received a settlement of 22 lakhs after his passing. We are a family of three – my mother, my older brother (who took up my father’s government job), and myself. I work in the private sector. My mother receives a yearly pension of 3 lakhs and will be living with my brother. How should we fairly divide the settlement amount among us?

My two sisters and I own our ancestral land equally. They want to give me their share for free, making me the sole owner. Should we create separate legal documents for each sister or just one? What are the potential problems with just one document? How can I make sure these legal documents are strong and won’t be challenged in the future?

I purchased land from a broker, trusting him completely. I paid 22 lakhs for it, without checking the details properly. Now, I want to sell it, but I’ve learned I was tricked. The land was actually worth only 7 lakhs at the time. Neither government nor private valuations match what I paid. The Patwari is also being difficult, demanding money and repeatedly measuring the land. It feels like a big scam.

My father recently passed away. My brother sold our family’s plot in Noida without consulting my sister and me. We are two siblings, and I’m unsure what legal options I have.
