My family has been living in this house since 2002, built by my father after he bought the land. I’ve recently learned that he hasn’t registered the property legally. While the property tax, water and sewer bills come in his name, the electricity bill is still under the previous owner’s name. I found the title deed, but I can’t locate it. I’m worried about this situation and need guidance on the legal steps I should take.

You should consult a lawyer to understand the implications of the unregistered property and the missing title deed. They can guide you on the legal process for registering the property, including obtaining a duplicate title deed if necessary, and advise you on potential legal issues or risks associated with the unregistered status.

My grandfather had four children, two sons and two daughters. My father was the eldest, but sadly passed away ten years ago. We only have one plot of land that was rightfully my father’s. Since then, we haven’t received any support from our grandparents and are struggling financially. My uncle is trying to claim the entire property, and our grandparents aren’t willing to help. Is there any legal provision that can protect our rights to this land? We are seeking guidance and support in this matter.

I built a four-storey building with a stilt floor. I sold one floor, including one car parking space in the common stilt floor area. Now, I want to divide the stilt floor into two sections – one for parking in the front and the other for a room and bathroom for my personal use in the back. Is this legally permissible? The owner of the other floor says the entire stilt floor is common parking, but I told him he only has one parking space allotted, and the rest is mine to use. I want to use half the area for parking and the other half for my own space. What are my legal options?

My family has 6 siblings, all living in Varanasi and getting on in years. They want to transfer their shares in a property in Bangalore to their two younger brothers. Could they execute a Special Power of Attorney in Varanasi to do this? Will this registered SPA be legally valid in court and with the Sub-Registrar’s Office, given they’re unable to travel to Bangalore?

My family owns a small, two-acre plot of land in Maharashtra, right next to National Highway 211. The National Highway Authority is acquiring a 15-meter strip of our land for the new highway expansion. However, under the 1956 National Highway Act, they are also claiming a 75-foot ‘prohibited zone’ along the highway, which means they won’t compensate us for that land. This leaves us with almost nothing after the acquisition. Is it fair that they take this additional land without compensation, even though it significantly impacts our livelihood?

My father bought a property in 1968, when my three younger brothers were still minors. He put the property in the eldest brother’s name, who was studying at the time. Sadly, Dad passed away three years ago. Now, the eldest brother has sold the property without telling anyone. How can we prove that the property was bought with joint family funds and we all have a share in it?
