Before you buy
Many property disputes begin with a purchase made without checking the chain of title. Before you pay, the title documents, revenue records and encumbrances should be checked and the agreement reviewed. That costs far less than a suit afterwards.
When someone interferes with your property
If someone is interfering with your possession or threatening to sell disputed property, an application for a temporary injunction can preserve the position while the suit is decided. Collect every document that shows your title and possession: the sale deed, khatauni or other revenue entries, mutation orders, house tax receipts and utility bills.
Family property
Partition disputes are often best settled by a registered family settlement or partition deed. Where that is not possible, a partition suit decides each co-owner's share. Daughters have equal coparcenary rights in Hindu joint family property since the 2005 amendment to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, a point that changes the shares in many families.
