Quick Summary

This discussion concerns an ancestral farm property that was informally divided between siblings and then further divided among the next generation. The current occupants have cultivated their portion for over 20 years, and its market value has increased. They are seeking advice on how to legally secure their share in case of a court dispute, particularly regarding official record-keeping and the validity of unregistered family agreements.

Now in whose name is the property? Who is paying the taxes? Apply to the Revenue Officials for entering the names of your father and uncles in Revenue records, along with the death certificate of your grandfather.

Prepare a family settlement deed which may (optional) be registered.

In my understanding, nothing needs to be done. Such unregistered family settlements are saved by Section 49 of the Registration Act.

Your query as to unofficial is not clear. Whether it is unregistered or even unwritten?
