In India, if your parents died intestate (without a will), their property will be divided amongst their legal heirs according to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, or the relevant personal law applicable to your family. The specific shares will depend on your relationship to your parents and the number of legal heirs.

My parents are both from Kerala, and they have a house there. After my father passed away two years ago, my mother legally transferred the house to me. We all live together in West Bengal. The deed was written in Malayalam, which I don’t understand, so I relied on my cousin in Kerala to handle everything. I recently declared this property to my government office, as required by their rules. However, they are questioning the 10 lakh rupees mentioned in the deed, which was supposed to be the purchase price. The truth is, no money was exchanged – it was just a way to document the transfer. I’m worried because I honestly followed the rules and declared my property, while others may not have done so. I’m not sure how to explain this situation to my office. How can I clear myself from this misunderstanding?

We booked a flat eight years ago, but haven’t received possession yet. The builder keeps delaying, citing reasons like mutation and partition. He agreed to buy the flat back two years ago, promising 18% interest if payment was delayed beyond six months. He’s only paid 15% so far and keeps stalling. Can we file a case to get our money back? What are our chances of success, and when should we file? The agreement also prevents us from selling the flat. What options do we have?

My grandfather’s property was divided among his three sons, including my father. Dad inherited one-third of the land. After his passing in 1999 and my mother’s in 2010, I’m unsure how the property will be divided amongst us four siblings (two brothers and two sisters). My siblings, without consulting me, sold two portions claiming they were my sisters’ shares. My brother now refuses to give me my rightful share and continues to occupy the property. How can I legally partition the remaining land?

Living next to an ice plant in our residential area has turned into a nightmare for everyone. The constant noise, the threat of ammonia leaks, the heavy traffic day and night, and the salty wastewater damaging our gardens are unbearable. We’ve appealed to the municipality, the pollution control board, industrial safety officials, and even the collector’s office, but nothing has changed. Our question is: Can such a factory legally operate in a residential area? Is there any law protecting residents that we can use to force the plant to relocate?

I own a flat completely. Can I sell just a part of it, like a room or a portion of the space?
