Under Indian law, your son has no automatic right to inherit your self-acquired property during your lifetime. You have the freedom to decide what happens to your property, including gifting it during your lifetime or through a will. Consulting a lawyer is advisable to understand your options and ensure your wishes are carried out legally.

I’m planning to buy a flat in Mumbai. It was originally allotted to a joint family in 2001, but the agreement wasn’t registered. The family later sold it to someone else in 2005 through a registered sale deed. Now, I want to buy the flat from the current owner. Could you tell me if there’s any chance the original joint family, including any children, could challenge this sale later on? If so, how can I ensure this doesn’t happen?

Our housing society, formed under the Karnataka Apartment Owners’ Association Act, 1972, faces a unique situation. The builder has offered us a vacant flat in exchange for our help in selling the remaining unsold units. This flat was constructed beyond the approved plan, and the builder also omitted promised facilities like open parking and a squash court, using the shared space for these extra apartments. The flat has received Katha but lacks an Occupation Certificate. We have two questions: 1. Can our association, which is registered with the Registrar of SD and Properties but not as a formal society, legally own a flat in its name? 2. Given that we’re receiving this flat in exchange for forgoing promised amenities and accepting a smaller per capita share of common space, are there any tax implications, particularly in terms of income tax?

My family and I have been living in our flat for over two decades, ever since my father was allotted this plot by the Mathura Development Authority. We’ve been trying to buy the plot for years, but the MDA kept delaying the process and wouldn’t disclose the price. When they finally revealed the rate, it was much higher than expected. Now they’re saying we can only get the plot through an auction, which means we’d have to move out. Is there any chance we can acquire the plot without going through an auction and staying in our home?

My grandfather had six daughters and sadly passed away. He left behind his property, but three of my aunts aren’t agreeing to divide it. Two other aunts want to give me their shares, but because of the others, the property division is stuck. What can I do to get the property divided?

My family and I used to live together, but things became difficult, so we decided to separate three years ago. We agreed that they would contribute financially, and I left the house. Now, they’re pressuring me to sell the house, claiming it’s a three-way split: me, my father, and my brother. My father says their business suffered a loss, forcing them to sell gold to save it. He blames me for the loss and demands his share. My brother wants his portion to restart his business. I’m deeply troubled and unsure how to proceed.

Previous Article I’m seeking clarity on the court fees for a title declaration on my 1-acre agricultural land. The court has asked for this fee before issuing the final order on my permanent injunction case. My land is valued at ₹18 lakh today, and I understand the court fee might be around ₹13.5 lakh. I’d appreciate it if you could tell me the exact fee I need to pay and how it’s calculated. Is it a percentage of the property value, or is there a specific rate per lakh? Are there any additional charges I need to be aware of? My lawyer’s quoted fee seems high, and I’m looking for a clearer understanding of the actual cost.
Next Article I’m looking for the Maharashtra Court Fees Act 6, specifically the part about declaration suits on property sales. It mentions a change from “one-fourth” to “one-half” for the fee, citing a 1996 ordinance. Could someone guide me on where to find this specific ordinance or gazette notice?
