I’m considering buying a flat on a plot of land that was previously an Inam property. The ownership rights were formally registered in 1979 by the Special Deputy Commissioner for Abolition of Inams after paying a fee of Rs 1,500. In 1980, Mr. X purchased this land. Construction of flats began in 2005 in a joint venture between Mr. X and a builder. Would it be safe to buy a flat in this development?

While the land was initially Inam, the registration in 1979 by the Special Deputy Commissioner suggests ownership transfer. Since Mr. X purchased the land in 1980, the title appears legitimate. However, it is essential to conduct a thorough due diligence, including examining all relevant documents and verifying ownership history to ensure a clear and legal title before purchasing a flat.

I’m a Muslim man from Andhra Pradesh, India. My father-in-law gifted me a house through a settlement deed about 18 months ago, as I helped them financially during a difficult time. The house is located at my in-laws’ place. Unfortunately, things haven’t worked out with my wife and we’re going through a divorce. The Qazi has already issued two notices and is set to finalize the divorce in a few weeks. We don’t have children. My in-laws are now demanding the house back, claiming it was a gift according to the legal documents. I need legal advice on these matters: 1. If I divorce my wife, can my in-laws legally claim the house or file a case for it? 2. Is it advisable to sell the property now, considering the divorce process and the impending finalization? 3. If I sell the property now, what legal complications might arise if my in-laws file a case for it? I’m looking to schedule a phone consultation to discuss these questions in detail and determine the best course of action for me.

My cousin, who served in the CRPF, named his ex-wife and mother as beneficiaries in his will. Now, his young widow, who’s only 25 and works in government service, is claiming 70% of his assets. She has no children and won’t live with his family, so she won’t help his elderly parents. Is it possible for her to get half the assets even though he didn’t nominate her? If so, why? Could you explain this?

Back in 2007, we bought a ground floor flat with a lovely garden space. The original building plan shows it as just scooter and cycle parking. But, the sale agreement and Index 2 clearly say we bought both the flat and the garden/parking area. The final deed, however, uses an older plan that doesn’t show the garden. It also mentions society members can’t use areas listed in our agreement. So, I have a few questions:1. Could the society try to take over our garden area in the future?2. Should the builder have updated the plan to show the garden as part of our flat?3. We want to sell the flat, but the buyer’s bank needs a plan showing the garden with the flat. What can we do about this?

My grandfather, who passed away in 1999, left a registered will in 1995 detailing how his property should be divided amongst his five sons. My father, the third son, was assigned a specific portion. Unfortunately, he never transferred the property into his name or paid any taxes on it before he passed away in 2007. As his only child, I’m seeking guidance on how to get the property transferred to my name. I possess a copy of the registered will, but lack any other property documents. I’m currently estranged from my uncles, making communication difficult.

As a working woman, I’ve always supported my husband and daughter since we married. Unfortunately, he wasn’t employed and struggled with alcohol, often mismanaging our finances. Three years ago, he suffered a stroke, and I spent nearly 3 lakhs on his treatment, taking loans from friends and my company. I’m still paying off that debt. After my mother-in-law passed away, they sold her apartment, but despite her giving shares to her three sons, including my husband, I haven’t received a single rupee. He hasn’t saved any of it for our daughter either.
