Gift to Son & daughter-in-law.

80 yrs. old man sufferring from low blood supply to brain wants to gift his self acquired 1 RK flat to his son and daughter-in-law. His wife and elder son expired. He has got one daughter. He does not want to give this flat to his daughter. He cannot move out of bed. What procedure should be adopted in effecting the gift deed executed in Maharashtra. When he purchased the property, he did not register the same. Now, is declaration that it is his self acquired property required with stamp duty on present market value?

Probate.

Dear Experts of the forum,

Good Morning.

If original WILL is not found /Traceable/ Not interested to show in public by one of legatee (who is in possession of ORIGINAL WILL; It is a registered will), Can a copy obtained by from the Registrar's office be used for PROBATING purpose? If yes What will be the Expenses? Court fees as it involves lot of properties , but almost all property is sold by the one of the legatee!?

Pl.Note: I have obtained a copy of Will from the Registrar. The Persons involved are Hindus and are from AP State.How can probate obtained in AP state? What is the court fee payable? if the value of the property, cash, etc. is not known how the stamp duty is determined? Who can file and how long does it take to obtain probate?

With regards,

Thanking you ALL EXPERTS, in anticipation of an early REPLY please.

Right of ownership based on possession and girdawari ?

Hi,

My father bought a share in a piece of agricultural land in Punjab in 1990 along with 12 others.

The other parties sold off their share to a new buyer 'A' but my father retained his share.

Eventually, the new buyer 'A' sold off his share to two other buyers 'B' and 'C'. 'B' further sold his share to 'D'.

My father did not bother about the property which was left open and un-attended for all this while. Recently he found that the other shareholders have constructed a wall around the total land and also conveniently divided it into two halves by constructing a wall within it and have also given it out further for Agriculture and for some construction related equipment parking.

I have the following questions :

1. In the deed where 'A' bought the shares of all the other shareholders, it mentions that he has been given the possession of the land. Can this be challenged on the grounds that since he only became a new shareholder, he did not have the right to be given possession unless the land was partitioned and my father given his exclusive share.

2. In all the subsequent sales, it has always been maintained that the buyer has been given the possession of the share he has bought. Does any of this stand ground ? or is it all objectionable and can be challenged

3. On a brief discussion with the present shareholders, we were told that they have been using the land since the last 9 years and have been getting the 'Khasra Girdawari'(record of harvest) done in their name and hence they have an upper hand and probable ownership of the entire land. Does this hold any merit ?

4. My father had bought a share in agricultural land. However, present day it stands as partly cultivated and partly used for commercial purpose. Can he now claim damage to the agricultural land and his share within it ?

In the afresaid L&L agreement, it is also mentioned that the owner of the premises and Y&Z who have under an agreemnt authorised X to use/let etc. the premises.Meaning thereby that a ltd in a sub tanent.

on 20th Dec09 X sent a vacation notice of 30 days to A ltd. and after expiry of the said period of 30 days,demanded arket rent @Rs 100/- sq ft till vacation.

Interestingly, the L&L agreement mention that the term is 5 years and there is no renewal clause. But the preises is possessed by A Ltd. There is no arrear of rent and no such notice is issued before.

What legal remedy is available with A Ltd, which is not protected by Mumbai Rent Control act and what defecnces it should take replying notice.

Other issues:
