Ancestral Property, even when being guided by the Inheritance laws of the land, can pose problems if it makes you the co-owner with some other relative. Things related to property ownership get more complicated if an overseas citizen happens to find himself in dispute with the person who currently has possession of the property – most likely somebody who would prefer if he could get the authority to control, manage or even sell the relevant share in the land.

WHERE DOES THE HELPLESS NRI GO FROM HERE THEN?
WHO GIVES HIM SUBSTANTIAL, TRUSTWORTHY, DETAILED PROPERTY INFORMATION?
WHAT PROCESS DOES HE FOLLOW?
WHO WILL ANSWER HIS SIMPLE QUERIES?
QUITE SIMPLY, WHAT EXACTLY DOES HE DO?

In situations like these, filing of a Partition Suit is the best legal remedy available for an NRI or overseas citizen. Partition of the joint land/property is a mandatory step for effective management and control of the property in India. This could be ancestral land, a house or a commercial establishment that has been co-inherited along with siblings and other co-owners. In all cases, joint ownership of property would put an individual in a vulnerable position.

It is indeed possible to file and be suitably represented in a partition suit with the help of a legal representative even without being actually present in India. We, at NRI Legal Services, offer our clients this service. Our experience, both in years and number of clients, puts us in an undeniably advanced position to facilitate such procedures for all our patrons.

For NRIs this kind of a situation can become worse since they are not able to monitor or check into land related issues on a regular basis. They are helpless because of the distance and unfamiliarity with the legal processes. Moreover, it is not always easy to get substantial, trustworthy, detailed property information and decided which course of action is necessary to follow. Sometimes their simple queries go unanswered and they are left clueless about the magnitude or nature of the problem.
