Property & Land Insights
Common questions clients bring to us — drawn from our property and land practice in Lucknow.
Why Is Title Verification Important Before Buying Property?
Title verification examines the chain of ownership, revenue records, and litigation history of a property, helping identify disputes, encumbrances, or defects before money changes hands.
Ask Us About This →What Is Mutation (Dakhil-Kharij) and Why Does It Matter?
Mutation is the updating of revenue records to reflect a new owner after a sale, inheritance, gift, or partition, carried out under Sections 34 and 35 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 by the Tehsildar — important evidence of possession, though it does not itself create ownership.
Ask Us About This →How Are Ancestral Properties Partitioned?
Ancestral property can be partitioned amicably through a registered family settlement or partition deed, or, where family members disagree, through a partition suit before the civil court.
Ask Us About This →What Compensation Can I Claim for Land Acquisition?
Compensation for land acquired by the government is governed by the RFCTLARR Act, 2013, with recourse to a Reference Court where the compensation awarded is disputed.
