A. Dear Client,

If you're not in India but need to execute a Power of Attorney (POA), the process is slightly different. Here's a general outline:

A. Dear Client,

Until an undivided ancestral property undergoes partition via a decree issued by a Civil Court, a coparcener or legal heir cannot claim their rightful share. Following partition, the property no longer retains its ancestral status but becomes self-acquired property for the recipients, granting them full authority to manage or transfer it. Therefore, as a legal heir/coparcener, you must initiate a partition suit in the Civil Court to secure your portion of the property.

A. Dear Client,
Society transfer charges are typically paid by the property buyer, as part of the costs involved in acquiring rights to the apartment within a cooperative housing society. Transfer costs are paid by the buyer of the property, to a conveyancing attorney who is appointed by the seller of the property. This is one of the additional costs borne by the buyer for acquiring property.

A property having disputed title or missing documents and having no updated encumbrance status is not considered for a loan. A buyer should not agree to the deal without being satisfied with the status of encumbrance and title of the property.
