My family and I are Hindus. I, the elder brother, registered a property settlement deed with my younger brother for my land. The agreement stated he’d get ownership of the first floor after repaying my loan, but in the meantime, I let him build his house there. However, after some time, he began mistreating me and my wife. I live in Hari Nabi and registered the deed at ADSR Sonarpur. He pressured me to sign some papers, claiming they were just consent forms. My father was involved and threatened that if I didn’t sign, he would tell my boss I wasn’t caring for our parents, putting my son at risk. Scared, I signed. Now, I’m worried these papers could be a Power of Attorney (POA), giving him control over the original registered settlement deed. Can he alter the agreement with the Registrar of Assurances in Kolkata? I checked for encumbrances at ADSR Sonarpur and it’s clear until 2014.

Based on your description, the papers you signed under duress may be invalid. However, it is crucial to consult with a lawyer to verify the contents of the papers and assess their legal standing. They can advise you on the validity of the documents and potential actions to take, including challenging the POA and protecting your rights over the property.
