My mother-in-law owned some land registered in her name in 1996. While her name was later updated, the original documents still reflect her correct name. Sadly, she passed away last month in a road accident. She had only one daughter. How can I transfer the property and ensure her correct name is reflected in the land records?

You can transfer the property through inheritance by obtaining a succession certificate from a competent court. The court will issue a certificate recognizing your mother-in-law’s daughter as the legal heir, and this certificate can be used to update the land records with the daughter’s name.

I bought a house in 2014 from a seller, paid the full price, registered it in my name, and even cleared all the municipal taxes. I took a bank loan to finance the purchase and have been diligently paying the monthly installments. Despite all this, I’m still living in a rented house because the previous owner, who turns out to have a criminal past, now wants more money for the property. What can I do? Please advise.

My grandmother owned land in 1980. After she passed, our neighbours tricked my father, who is not well-versed in legal matters, into signing some papers claiming a survey number change. They then used these papers to get the land registered in their name. They sold the land in 2014 to someone else. We recently found our grandmother’s original land documents while moving. Can we take any action against the neighbours? Should we file a complaint?

A housing society in Thane is facing a dispute over access to the terrace and refuge area. The society’s governing body, including the Chairman and Secretary, are refusing entry, citing safety concerns and society rules. They claim these restrictions are necessary to prevent incidents like suicide, but members are frustrated as they regularly use the refuge area for their meetings, including the Annual General Meeting. However, members are seeking terrace access to monitor water supply issues. Can the society deny access to these areas, even after passing resolutions in their meetings?

My son lives separately, but my daughter-in-law refuses to join him. She’s been causing us mental and physical distress, demanding money and property. She even physically assaulted my wife in 2014, resulting in a fracture, leading to a police case filed against her. Due to the threats, my wife and I have been living separately in rented accommodation since 2014. She’s taken over the entire flat, which I bought in Faridabad (Haryana) in 2008. I hold a special power of attorney for the flat issued in Jalandhar, Punjab. Can I file an eviction case against my daughter-in-law using this power of attorney, or do I need to register the flat in my name first?
