I’m trying to sell my residential plot in Moradabad. A friend, who owes me some money, offered to help with the sale. He sent his brother to my house to collect the property papers, claiming a potential buyer was interested. My wife handed over the documents. Later, my friend gave me a partial payment. But now, when I ask for the papers back, he’s refusing to return them.

Your friend’s actions appear to be fraudulent. You have a legal right to reclaim your property papers as they are essential for the sale. You should immediately contact a lawyer to discuss your options and potentially file a police complaint.

My family owns some farmland, and we want to build a small shed for our cows. Our neighbour owns the land next to ours, and there’s a big tree on his property. Its branches are growing over our land, making it difficult for us to work. We asked him to trim the branches, but he said he’s allowed to leave them be. Would it be wrong for us to cut the branches ourselves, or could we get into trouble?

My father, elder brother, and I owned some family land. A few months ago, my brother promised to pay my father and me a certain sum for our share, in exchange for transferring the property to him. We did this, but now he’s refusing to pay. Without this money, my father will be homeless, as my brother won’t let him live in his house. We didn’t have any written agreement about this arrangement.

I’m planning to buy an apartment in a registered co-operative society. While reviewing the documents, I noticed a few things: 1. There’s no sale deed, just a registered agreement for sale. 2. The agreement mentions the property is financed by the father-in-law, who’s still alive and has given power of attorney to his daughter. 3. The registered agreement lists the owners as the daughter, her husband, and her father. Should I insist on getting a No Objection Certificate from the father? Do they have a clear legal title to the property?

Hi, I’m in Pune and my father recently passed away. He owned 3 acres of land in Osmanabad district, but he didn’t leave a will. Now, my mother and siblings want to transfer the land to ourselves, but the Tehsildar in Osmanabad is asking for a court certificate stating we are the legal heirs. I’m confused about a few things: 1. Is this court certificate really necessary? Would birth certificates be sufficient? 2. We hired a lawyer, and after the court hearing, he said we need to pay stamp duty on the land to get the certificate. I don’t understand which certificate he applied for or why stamp duty is required. 3. What kind of certificate do we need for transferring the land? Where can I get this certificate? I’ve heard there’s a certificate that doesn’t mention property details and can be used for other things like transferring utility bills. I’m feeling really frustrated with this whole process. Can you please help me understand?
