Hi, We 6 brothers & 2 sisters are staying in Delhi in 8 seperate flats build on a land on my mother's name. our mother died a decade ago without a will. we pay our house taxes & electricity bill seperately. But there is no legal documents which can suggest that the flats where we are staying are in our individual names. there is only a sale deed available on my late mother's name from whom she bought the land.
My question is whether we of 8 brothers & sisters will have to go for a family settlement? OR we have to do the Partition deed? Have the both processes same legal stand? are both registered documents which will ensure clear title for 8 of us? which way we have to pay less?
Pls suggest. Thanks

Dear Querist
you have both the way, you can make a partition deed cum family settlement deed as per your family settlement and registered in the sub-registrar office, after registration you can file a mutation application and change the owner name in the property through this deed.
