Overview
Property changes hands on paper, and defects in that paper surface decades later as litigation: agreements to sell without possession/payment linkage, sale deeds with wrong schedules or missing consents, unregistered family arrangements, gift deeds without acceptance recitals. We draft and vet the full chain — agreement to sell with staged payments and default consequences, the sale deed itself, gift and release deeds among family, exchange deeds, and rectification deeds that cure errors in old documents — and handle stamping and registration so the record is complete the day you sign.
Key Provisions — Transfer of Property Act + Registration Act, 1882 / 1908
- The agreement to sell fixes price, timeline, and default consequences — it is the document specific-performance suits run on.
- Sale deeds need precise schedules, title recitals, consideration acknowledgment, and all necessary consenting parties (co-owners, heirs).
- Gift deeds require acceptance during the donor's lifetime and registration; family release deeds often carry concessional stamp duty.
- Rectification deeds cure errors (names, survey numbers, extents) in registered documents without relitigating the transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions
The builder's agreement is 60 pages of their terms — can you make it fair?
We can flag and negotiate the clauses that matter (delay, exit, area, charges); RERA also overrides the worst one-sided terms. Never sign a builder ATS unread — it's the document your rights live in.
My father wants to transfer the house to me now — gift deed or will?
Different tools: a registered gift transfers now (with stamp duty, often concessional to kin) and is near-irrevocable; a will costs nothing now but transfers only at death and can be challenged. The right answer depends on control, family, and duty — a short consult settles it.
