Partition and Share Claim in Ancestral Property in India
Partition of Property and claiming a rightful share in the ancestral property is a legal process that can often become quite complicated, especially when co-owners or siblings are unwilling to amicably agree on dividing the property and distributing the share as per legal rights. Disputes regarding property division are common, and without a proper legal framework, such disputes can lead to prolonged legal battles. At Wazir Solicitors, we specialize in helping clients navigate the complexities of property partition disputes, ensuring that your legal rights are upheld, and you receive your fair share of the property.
When Can You File for Partition and Share in Property?
If you are an individual with a rightful share in the property (for example, you share ownership with your siblings or other relatives), and they are unwilling to allow you to claim your share, it may be time to consider legal action. Whether it’s property passed down from your ancestors or joint family property, legal recourse is available. Below are situations when you can seek legal help for partition and share claims:
- If other joint co-owners are unwilling to divide the property and provide your entitled share as per the legal inheritance laws.
- If you have a legal right to property as a rightful heir and wish to secure your share through a legal process.
- If the property division is being delayed or resisted by other family members or co-owners.
The Legal Process for Property Partition
The process for partition of property and claiming your share can be challenging, but with the right legal guidance, it becomes manageable. Below is an overview of the legal steps involved:
- Filing of a Suit for Partition: A suit for partition can be filed in the jurisdiction of the civil courts where the property in question is situated.
- Power of Attorney (POA) for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs): If you are an NRI and unable to attend court hearings in India in person, you can authorize someone through a POA to file and represent your case in court.
- Division of Property: Once the suit is filed, the court will assess the property, and a decree will be passed to divide the property among the rightful heirs.
- Obtaining Your Share: The court will ensure that each heir gets their fair share, and in case of disagreements, the property can be physically divided or sold and the proceeds distributed.
