Land Disputes & Consultancy
Ownership, possession, boundary, partition, inheritance, lease and acquisition disputes.
What it is
When land is already in dispute, the question is no longer what the papers say but what can be proved. We analyse the legal position, organise the evidence, pursue settlement where it is achievable, and prepare the case properly for the Advocate where it is not.
What this covers

Verification of title, ownership, mutation, khatian, deed history, encumbrances, possession and land records before purchase, development or investment.
Dispute Assessment
Legal analysis of ownership, possession, boundary, partition, inheritance, lease, mortgage, acquisition and land-development disputes.
Documentation
Preparation and review of sale, lease, development, partition, joint-venture, power of attorney and settlement documents.
