Show the documents to a local lawyer for proper opinion and advise.

What is RTC? Apply for Encumbrance Certificate for 12 years in which the name of the owners for the last 12 years with the present owner's name will appear. You will know who is the true owner. Once the property is registered in your name, even if the the person from whom you buy cannot resale the plot and the person who purchases will not get any title over the property. That would tantamount to fraud and there are no fool proof method to prevent fraudsters. Obtain legal opinion on the documents tendered by the proposed seller. Also inquire with the other owners of the plots in the vicinity.

You can apply for EC for a minimum period of 25 years and peruse the same to find out the encumbrances from the beginning, if you dont understand the terms, you may consult a local lawyer and get his opinion before purchasing the property.
