Legal heirs identification

if naveen had transfered the property in his name on the revenue records then he can sell the property being the sole owner of that property, you need not have to take sign from others .

if you don't want a legal heirs claim some years in the future, get every child of the current owner to sign the sale deed. It may be more hassle but you will be safe.

so sir you mean to say that even daughters have share in the land? and i might face issue if i do not take there consent right?

Also isn't land alloted by tribunal same as self acquired property? or all members of family have claim over it?

Mr. Rajesh Kumar has given a practical advise.If possible signature of all legal heirs as consenting witness may be obtained on sale deed before Sub-Registrar.

For land allotted by tribunal show all docs related to award to an able lawyer well versed with local laws,such matters,family/revenue/property/civil matters.......................and confirm if such land can be given away by gift or not. If not then your counsel may opine to  stay away from the deal.

 

 

 

Yes the current owner childrens will sign the sale deed. Well as i said earlier current owner got it from his father via gift deed and the father got land via tribunal (in karnataka). Current owner has 2 sisters. Does sisters have share in land legally? This is my main question. Can i neglect them?

 

Get all legal heirs to sign, including daughters. 

I have personally had an issue with a legal heir, a daughter of one of the sellers who did not sign the sale deed later put a case against me for claim to the land.

This case is ongoing.

So be safe, smart and get everyone to sign.

Thanks a ton to Rajesh sir. I really appreciate your help.

The first and foremost question is that if land awarded by tribunal can be given away by gift or not or sold by anyobe that acquires it, by any means? If the enswer to this question is NO,then stay away from the deal.The local alwyer can opine on it after examining all docs on record.

 

The secon is if the land shall have the staus of  self acquired in the hands of awardee?

if it is self acquired then owner should be in aposition to give it away by a valid and registered and irrevocable gift deed.You may show the gift deed also to your counsel.

 

If the land acquires the status of self acquired and can be given away by gift and sold and gift deed is valid then siblings and legal heirs of Shankar and Naveen should have no claim.

 

If the conditions attached with award prohibit to sell/gift then it can't be gifted/sold.

Show all docs on record to an able counsel.
