Yes, Rajesh can legally request a guarantee from Shyam. However, this guarantee may not be legally binding if it isn’t specifically defined in the sale deed and registered with the relevant authorities. If someone challenges the house’s ownership, Rajesh can potentially claim against Shyam based on the guarantee, but its effectiveness would depend on its specific terms and the outcome of the court case.

My father passed away, leaving behind a single-room apartment for us four brothers. The society transferred it to our mother’s name. Sadly, my two younger brothers passed away, and then my mother passed away last September. As the second son, I live separately after my marriage. Now, my elder brother is trying to claim the entire property. He has my aunt’s support, who lives there. While she verbally confirmed that I’m included in the nominee list, she refuses to provide any written proof. Whenever I bring this up, she either ignores me or gets upset. What legal options do I have if they refuse to acknowledge my share in the property?

My father, a resident of Maharashtra, passed away a few years ago without leaving a will. He owned 8 acres of farmland and a house, both acquired through his own hard work. He is survived by my mother, two sons (myself and my brother), and two daughters who were married before 1994. I have a few questions regarding the inheritance: 1. As my sisters were married before 1994, what is their rightful share in the farmland and the house? 2. Since my father earned the property himself, can my mother claim the entire estate for herself?

Our housing society, formed under the Karnataka Apartment Owners’ Association Act, 1972, faces a unique situation. The builder has offered us a vacant flat in exchange for our help in selling the remaining unsold units. This flat was constructed beyond the approved plan, and the builder also omitted promised facilities like open parking and a squash court, using the shared space for these extra apartments. The flat has received Katha but lacks an Occupation Certificate. We have two questions: 1. Can our association, which is registered with the Registrar of SD and Properties but not as a formal society, legally own a flat in its name? 2. Given that we’re receiving this flat in exchange for forgoing promised amenities and accepting a smaller per capita share of common space, are there any tax implications, particularly in terms of income tax?

My family and I are looking to buy a property in India. It’s owned by two brothers, one Indian and the other with dual Indian and US citizenship. He’s mentioned gifting his share to his brother before selling it to us to potentially avoid taxes. Is this a valid way to transfer ownership? Can a joint property be gifted like this? Should I proceed with buying this property?

My mother passed away unexpectedly without leaving a will. Now, my stepfather and stepbrother claim I have no right to her property. My mother founded a successful school with many divisions, and owned several flats and properties. My stepfather has become the chairman, and my stepbrother the secretary and treasurer. They only send me 15k rupees monthly, the same amount my mother used to give for my rent, calling it a favor. They say I have no claim, but it’s their mercy to give it. My stepbrother is not my mother’s biological son; only the younger one is.
