My mother had a property she rented out for a fixed term. The lease expired recently, and we, her two legal heirs, are now the rightful owners. The builder hasn’t contacted us about transferring the agreement to our names. Now, he has sold his share of the property but hasn’t paid us our due share. He has also illegally built an extra floor on top of the building. What legal steps can we take to address this situation?

You can file a suit in the civil court seeking a declaration that you are the rightful owners of the property and demanding your share of the sale proceeds. Additionally, you can file a separate complaint against the illegal construction of the extra floor, seeking its removal and compensation for damages.

My family is facing a complex legal issue involving property inheritance. My grandfather, who passed away recently, left behind two houses. He gave one to his eldest daughter, “A”, and the other to his three daughters, “B”, “C”, and “E”. Unfortunately, “A” has passed away, and her son, “P”, who is a lawyer, is claiming his mother’s share in the second house. He sent a person named “Z” to “C” and “E”, and “Z” convinced them to sign a document stating that my grandfather had only two daughters, “C” and “E”, and that “E” was selling his share to “C”. This document also mentions that my grandfather did not write a will. We later realized this was a trap set by “P”. We have a valid will written by my grandfather, but this document is causing major problems. Can we rectify the errors in the registration document? If we cancel the registration, what are the consequences? Can we still probate the will after these issues?

Thinking of buying a 2BHK flat in a new building? The builder is asking for an additional 12 lakhs for a private terrace, but it’s accessible only from your flat and 7 other apartments. There’s no shared terrace, but access to the rooftop is through one of the flats for things like dish antenna and water connection. It’s a flat roof with no landscaping, and you’re on the 8th floor. Would it be a good deal, and can I landscape the terrace without any construction?

I’m a Hindu woman, and my ex-husband was Buddhist. Our marriage was difficult, and things turned bad within days. I had to move into a hostel and he started harassing me. I didn’t have family support, so I couldn’t file a complaint. After two months, I left him. He took all my important documents, including my educational and property papers, and won’t return them. I’ve remarried since, but he still won’t give back my documents. What can I do?

I bought a flat in 2015 with a promised delivery date of October. Construction is finished, but I still haven’t gotten possession. They say they’re waiting for a government certificate that will take another 2-3 months. Also, they changed the toilet fixture from what was in the brochure, and won’t fix it. What should I do if I want to file a case in consumer court? Should I wait to get possession first?

Ramu, a man from a village in India, had three sons (Raju, Rakesh, and Ramesh) with his first wife, Sita, who passed away. Ramu later married Geeta and they had a daughter (Reena) and a son (Ravi).
