Background of the Case: This is a partition suit between 4 siblings in the state of Karnataka. Plaintiff (one of the siblings) has filed a partition suit with remaining 3 siblings. Out of the 3 siblings 2 are deceased (1 brother and 1 sister) hence their respective wife and children are included in the defendant. (overall 9 defendants) So Plaintiff is claiming for 1/4th of the share along with expenses he made on the properties/agricultural land to improve their state. Out of the listed properties in the partition suit, the estimate value plaintiff has mentioned is 4CR INR, with 1/4th share to be 1CR INR. Plaintiff is claiming 1CR + 45 lakhs (his expenses). Although the benefits of the investment have not been mentioned in the form of rents/crop harvest by Plaintiff and one of the Defendants. So in this case not sure if the document correctly represent this value. There is one lawyer being being appointed to represent all 11 defendants except one defendant who benefited from the rent and might have their own lawyer. I have two questions: I am one of the defendants in the suit. My mother(deceased) is one of the siblings, hence I get 1/4th of 1/4th share of this partition suit. Current estimate share as per the partition suit document is 25 lakhs INR. 1. The next hearing is on 19/12/2020 (looks like Lok Adalat in Karnataka is happening on the same date), should I hire a lawyer to request for more time given that I just got the notice recently. How can I access the case document online and not the case status. 2. How much is average lawyer fees for this partition suite if I hire my own layer to raise objections on the list of properties, his claim on expenses, etc. and go all the way. 3. How much is my Court fees i.e. defendant in this case? Is there a percentage of my share that I should be looking at for Karnataka state? Is there any online link that I can refer?

My mother's father had 4 daughters and 4 sons (A,B,C,D). mother's father died with making a will that each son will get 1/4th share of the property (land). the whole land belongs to my mother's mother, actually my mother's mother was the only daughter of their parents so all property got transferred in her name. by mutually concern they all(A,B,C,D) divided the land of their own without making any documentation. now few years later both one son(D) and his wife died. now the problem created from here .the children(minors) of D want to transfer their father's 14th share in their own name because A,B,and C are ready to give 1/4th share but refusing to transfer in children(minors) name and children want property on their name so in future they can give it on lease or rent or open bank on that place. A, B and C clearly said that neither they will do any documentation to get property in their own name nor they will transfer property to the children name.my mother's mother is alive, all property belongs to her and she want to transfer D share to their children name but because of A ,B and C she can't do this. she is 85 year old. i know that the 1/4th share of D will automatic get transfer to their children name but children have fear that A,B and C will change their share with children's share.actually D got his share which is on road side. so it is obvious that they(A,B and C) will try to change children 14th share with their 14th share which is far from the road or they will re-divide the land so that they might get land near road. Is there any way to get D share in their children(minors) name.? i want proper documentation of D share in their children name so that in future D's children will not face any problem like changing or re-dividing the land by A,B and C. D has 3 children,one girl(14 year old) and two boy(13 year and 6 year). please help me out, i am from UP.

In a joint family with regards to an ancestral property, is it possible for me whose name does not exist in the title of the lands because the "property is in the sole name of my mother who is living" register release deed to my sister whose name too is not in the title of the lands. In other words, I can register a release deed in the present day permanently releasing my future rights to ancestor lands that I will inherit 20-30 years later?

My father had taken two adjoining flats on ground floor of a society back in 1998. The builder then gave us a offer that if we take two adjoining flats together we would get a space outside (of around 125 sq ft) right outside our flats. He even opened a door from that place. He marked the space in the our agreement plan with different color but didn't clearly mention the same in agreement. Now after so many years the society is threatning us to break the compound wall that had built then and that it's illegal since it is not mentioned in our agreement. This had happened once 10 years back too. Then too society specifically the chairman and secretary of society then had threatened us. We had sent legal notice to them but didn't receive it n it came back to us. Now again the society comittee members are planning to take action and we even presented them the letter given to us by builder on his letter head along with his stamp and sign mentioning that the place belongs to us. I intend to finalize this matter. Can anyone advice me what can be done? Anything that legally solve the problem once and for all without intervention of society, since society won't do anything for us as they want to turn it into parking place?

My father gave POA to a person in 2006 for a piece of land which was actually my share as per the family partition deed which was signed by all members and registered during 2002. I was not aware of this POA as I was far away from property location for several years . Recently , I came to know that POA holder sold the property to another party immediately (2006). Also, I understood father gave POA due to pressure from existing family circumstances that time. Can I question above sale deed (& POA) now in the court of law and will there be any legal action on my Father?

I am planning to purchase a commercial property in Pune east street (Pune cantonment) So I had 2 questions with regards to this. As per the required documents CA certificate was required which the seller doesn’t have since hes not filed the IT returns. The property was on the name of 3 people (mother and 2 sons) and release deed of 2 have been completed which leaves the property with one person. And secondly as per cantonment rules we are suppose to pay 27% tax on rented out properties which hes never paid till date. So is it safe to purchase the property without these 2 things or can I face any problem in the future with regards to these 2 things. Also if I need to come out of this deal how do I claim my expenses since its been 6 months that hes not given me the complete documents and have kept me hanging in the middle. Ive given him a token also for which I have a written receipt. But since I had taken money from outside so ive been paying interest without any returns. Needed help

So is girl have rights to get share on his grandfather property which was now in name of his brothers few years ago. The reason for getting her share is that his brother is forcing her to leave house. Please advice. Thanks.

My father expired lat month due to sepsis after an operation in Bhopal. He did not leave a will. He has properties and FDs in Bhopal and Inherited properties in a village in Uttar Pradesh. He left behind 5 children (4 daughters + 1 son) and a wife. My brother's family and my mother lived with him in a house also owned by my father in Bhopal. I have following questions: 1. Who has the authority to sell his properties? What will be the process to sell his properties? 2. What can be done about his bank accounts and FDs? He did not leave a nominee's name in any of those. 3. Can my brother sell it without the sisters' presence/approval? 4. Does my mother have the authority to sign the sisters' share to the brother? 5. Is there any work-around/ loophole that my brother can use to take over the sisters' shares? 6. What is the process/documents a sister needs to go through to let go of her share? 7. What are my mother's rights and inheritance? Also, about the cause of my father's death, I am very suspicious that there was negligence from the hospital's side. They did not take timely note of his early signs of sepsis that led to his death. What can I do to file a negligence case against the hospital? What documents will I require?

this is Nishant from Patna, Bihar. I had to sell my land. I did an agreement for sale for Rs. 25 Lakh and the purchaser gave me 20 Lakh advance. The agreement for sale was registered before registrar. The total time duration of agreement was 16 months. Now, 16 months has passed but he didn't pay me the remaining amount and didn't come forward to take the land. I just wanted to know, as the time duration mentioned in the agreement has expired, can I can take loan on the land or sell it to another person now ? Or have i to move to the court first?
