Frequently Asked Questions — Property Title Disputes

How is title verification done in Kolkata?

Title verification involves tracing the property chain through KMC records, BL&LRO records, and the Sub-Registrar for 30+ years, checking for encumbrances, mortgages, court cases, and disputes. A property lawyer reviews all documents and provides a title opinion confirming clear and marketable title.

What is adverse possession and how does it work?

Adverse possession allows a person in continuous, uninterrupted, hostile possession of property for 12+ years to claim ownership. The possession must be open, notorious, and without the owner permission. A declaration suit is filed to establish title by adverse possession.

How can I challenge a fraudulent property transfer?

File a suit for declaration that the transfer is null and void, seeking cancellation of the sale deed or gift deed. Grounds include fraud, forgery, coercion, undue influence, or lack of title in the transferor. The court can set aside the fraudulent transfer and restore the title.

What is a declaration suit for property title?

A declaration suit under Section 34 of the Specific Relief Act asks the court to declare the plaintiff legal title to the property. This is used when ownership is disputed, unclear, or challenged. The court examines evidence and declares who holds the rightful title.

Can I correct errors in my property documents?

Yes. Rectification of documents can be done by mutual consent (rectification deed) or by court order. Under Section 26 of the Specific Relief Act, the court can order rectification of a document that does not express the real intention of the parties due to fraud or mutual mistake.
