Settlement deed or release deed better and cheaper

1) Flat (not inherited) in Mumbai was in joint name of Christian father and mother.

2) Father died intestate leaving behind mother, son and daughter.

3) Registration of flat costing Rupees ten lakhs still in the names of father and mother.

4) Mother wants to give the flat to her son completely and absolutely immediately.

5) Daughter wants to give her legal share in the flat to her brother unconditionally without any consideration.


What is the cheapest and best option...settlement deed, release deed, partition deed, etc.? The expense to complete the above should be the cheapest as both the mother and daughter are willing to put the flat in the son's name immediately and unconditionally without any considerations.

Thanks in advance.

Thank u

We stay at thane in a 277 square feet Building (pagody system a two floor appt) which belongs to my grandfather (as per municipality record)
My grand father has three sons
A, B, C
C is my father; we stay there since past thirty years .my other two uncles (A&B) stays separately since last thirty years
We are paying rent (we get receipt on out grand father’s name) since last thirty years,
My grandfather died in 2001 & since we had not changed any record in municipality.
Apparently our family stays there since a very long period & we are the real owner of the property
The said property has been demolished by all tenants because it was declared as dangerous by municipality.
Now we all tenants are trying to develop a new apartment & now my questions is
1)My older uncle is demanding something from the property can he do so ?What we can do to prevent him interfering in our property?
2) can we legally put our( My fathers) name in municipality records as against our grand father considering our very long stay in the Building? It means they had given up their claim by passing of three decades & now how can they demand now?
Please suggest

Redevelopment issues in a Coop Hsg Society

My father is a memeber of a plot purcahe type society of 19 members owning small medium and large flats.

This one of the (maybe only) societies that apportions repairs and maintenence expenses on all common areas like compund, terrace,landings .passages,pump room,compound wall etc on equal sharing basis .In almost all societies the sharing is on area basis except the common service charges.

The society is going for redevelopment wherin now one smaller flat holder is asking for equal sharing in additional FSI benefits by way of his having contributed to the expenses equally and also the fact that even in future he will have to share the burden for expenses in same way for maybe double the number of flats that may come up for the rest of the life of building.

Is his contenetion right. The byelaws and MCS Act 1960 are silent on same.

Whilst the Dy Registrar in 1990 gave an opinion on the request of larger falt owners that the expenses are to be shared, now he states that the smaller flat owner has to approach appropriate forum.

an anyone advice or is there any judgements?

Please advice

Partition Pending : How to obtain stay ?

I have a partition application pending with the DRO for a common piece of land to be partioned between 3 shareholders.

I had requested for a stay against construction and sale of the land till it is not partitioned as the respondents are not very eager to have the land partitioned but eager to grab it by hook or crook.

As per the revenue officer, he is not empowered to provide the same.

However, i would like to know what is the best possible way to prevent a possible sale of the land or any contruction on it without it being partitioned.

1. I do not want to go to the civil court as that would prevent me from getting any police assistance if the need be.

2. Is there any way i can get a note on the Jamabandi regarding the pending partition proceeding. The Patwari is reluctant to help, so i need to know of a formal procedure that i can initiate.

3. What are the other ways in which the stay on the property can be obtained ?
