My friend’s father bought property in 1991 through a Power of Attorney, Sale Agreement, and Will, all legally registered. Sadly, he passed away last year in July. Now, my friend needs to register the property in his name. However, the original owner is demanding a large sum of money, which is beyond my friend’s means. He’s also making threats over the phone. What are the best ways to handle this situation with such a demanding person?

Your friend should consult a lawyer immediately to assess the legal validity of the existing documents and ownership claims. They can explore options like filing a suit for declaration of title, seeking an injunction against the threats, and potentially negotiating a settlement with the original owner.

My father-in-law prepared a will about 7-9 years ago. We haven’t received any information or a copy of it. We suspect we might not be getting any share because of his first wife’s only son, and we’ve been estranged from the family by my step-mother. How can I obtain a copy of the will?

His second wife (my mother-in-law) has five sons and three daughters. She is still alive.

I own a piece of land and a developer wants to build on it. He’s offering me half the built-up area. What legal protections should I include in the agreement to safeguard myself if the developer fails to complete the project? Can I seek redress from the consumer forum in such a scenario? What happens if the developer passes away during the project? I’m looking for expert advice on securing my interests in this development agreement.

Our builder created two apartment blocks, D1 and D2, with 54 flats and 54 bungalows in a gated community. While there’s a separate entrance for each, the amenities (like the clubhouse, pool, and water well) were meant to be shared. The sewage treatment plant is near D1 and D2, yet the bungalow residents claim the agreement only grants them access to the amenities. This leaves us, the flat owners, unable to use them, and the builder isn’t resolving the issue.

Previous Article A company was split evenly between two groups, each holding nearly half the shares. I was one of the directors representing the slightly larger group. We all sold our shares and I resigned. Now, I’ve learned that the other group has accused me of wrongdoing, based on a report they haven’t shared with me. Can I sue them for defamation, along with the company auditors?
Next Article My 498A case was dismissed by the High Court in December 2012. My brother’s family didn’t challenge this in the Supreme Court. But, in October 2013, they filed a defamation case. Now, my sister-in-law has asked the same High Court to reconsider their decision. I’m worried because: 1. Can the High Court hear this again? 2. Can I go to the Supreme Court? 3. I received a notice. How can I stop them from causing further stress to my family with this unnecessary application?
