the properties have been puchased from time to time by family money based on availability of capital on a members books of account.......other members  have properties individually too but agree that all properties are joint family properties regardless of name ...........what should we do? whats the maximum ad valorem court fee for partition suit?

Hi Gaurav,

If your uncle has purchased the property in his name out of joint family funds then it will be considered as joint family property and it will be subject matter of partition also. If your uncle claims it to be self acquired property then he will have to prove the same. If the tax for such property (one in uncle name) is paid along with HUF property then it will be difficult to prove him unless he has some other substantail reason to prove such property as his self acquired property.

Hi Diwakar,

The facts givin by you are insufficient. The terms and conditions of the agreement also matters in the present case. I hope the possession of the property not given on partial payment. If you have not given the possession of the property then you need not heed for their threat and sign document unless full sale consideration is paid as agreed in the sale agreement. Later, on payment of full sale consideration Sale Deed will have to be excuted and registered then only the purchaser will have the good title to the Property.
