Under Indian law, if your daughter solely financed the purchase, she has a stronger claim to the flat. You should encourage her to consult a lawyer to present evidence of her sole financial contribution and explore options like a legal separation agreement to protect her investment.

We’re a middle-class family who bought our home 30 years ago. Back then, the bathroom was built outside the house and wasn’t included in the property documents. We were told verbally that it was ours. For the past 30 years, we’ve been using this bathroom. Now, the owners are claiming it’s theirs because it’s on their papers, even though it’s not on ours. It’s just a small space, about 5 by 5 feet. We have no alternative and no space to build another bathroom. They’re constantly pressuring us to give up the bathroom. What should we do?

My neighbor’s association in Janak Puri’s B-3A block, a smaller complex, is challenging the registration of our larger association in court. They argue their building should have more power because it’s governed by the Apartment Act. Can a smaller association really overrule a bigger one like ours? This seems unfair, especially since our association was registered first.

My uncle sold his share of our ancestral land to an outsider without telling me. Now, the buyer has filed a partition suit. I own 1/6th of the total 8 shares of land. My uncle sold his 1/8th share, which includes agricultural, residential, and barren land. I don’t want this outsider to get our ancestral land, but my uncle didn’t even offer to sell it to me. He sold it to a real estate agent. Is there any way to cancel the sale deed? Is there a law that gives co-owners the first right to buy an undivided share of ancestral land? The buyer hasn’t taken possession yet.

I bought a flat under construction in Pune back in 2015, with a promised delivery date of December that year. It’s now years later and I still haven’t received possession. My agreement clearly states a 9% interest payment for any delays. The builder is ignoring my calls and emails. When I finally got through, they said they’ll only pay compensation if I don’t want the flat! This is completely unfair and not in our contract. I want to get my flat and the compensation I’m owed. What legal steps can I take?

My family has settled the property, which is currently in my mother’s name, and it has been given to me. We have a notarized family settlement agreement, but it’s not registered. The society is asking for a succession certificate and probate for a name change. Is the family settlement agreement not valid? What steps can I take to get the property officially registered in my name?

Before buying, I informed the tenant and put an advertisement in the newspaper asking anyone with any issues to come forward within 2 weeks. Now the tenant isn’t paying rent or moving out. What should I do? If I go to court, how long will it take? I’ve already complained to the SDM and SP, but there’s no action.
