I need to prepare a MOU for payment of share of one the heirs of our family property and reconstruction of the same.
We are 2 brothers and 3 sisters. My elder brother has been paid his share of the property as per Islamic law of inheritance. The property is under the name of me and my 3 sisters.
- At the time of payment, one of my sisters couldn’t pay her share of the amount given to my brother. I am putting in a clause that states specifically that she will have either of the following options
- To pay her amount of contribution already paid to my brother
- To take her share from the property at the price agreed upon earlier, after which she will no longer be a shareholder in the property.
- One of my sister is unmarried. In case of her demise, her share of the property will be distributed as per her registered will.
- During the reconstruction, expenses relating to common areas such as lift, parking, all municipal works, legal expenses, front elevation, etc. are to be equally divided among the shareholders.
- Post construction, any expenses relating to property maintenance will be equally shared among the property holders.
- The distribution of the floors will be done based on mutual understanding or drawing of lots.
- None of the shareholders will have the right to sell or rent or lease the property to any third-party. In case any shareholder wishes to sell his share of the property, it can only be sold to the remaining shareholders, based on prevailing market rates, with prior notice of 6 – 9 months for arrangement of sale amount.
Please let me know if I need to add further points to the above to ensure that a strong agreement is made and there are no conflicts in the future.
