First of all enter into an agreement to sale. Fix all the terms and conditions including consideration and the basic condition of right, title and interest. What is the object of the Trust? Is it maintenance of family members of the Seller Trust? Ask for the constitution of the Trust. Generally, the property, if belonged to the public trust is subject to express permission by the Charity Commissioner, but here it is a private Trust. However, verify the facts from Charity Commissioner as well. Or ask for information under Right to Information Act. When it is a question of investment and the title, you have to be very particular. Obtain all relevant information from the City Survey Office, obtain property card and also gather other revenue record. Also get the information from the Sub Registrar of assurances.
