• Kolkata, Salt Lake property partition and mutation

The property, which is a three-storey building was built by my father and 2 of his brothers. Each brother with their family occupying one floor.

We are together 8 cousins, the next generation. The current living family is as follows:
1) Brother 1 (my father) - deceased. Survived by wife and 3 children.
2) Brother 2 (my uncle), his wife and 1 child.
3) Brother 3 (my uncle), his wife and 4 children.

Question:
1) How do we do a mutation of the property so that each floor clearly belongs to one of the brothers (my father and two uncles) and their children?
2) Then for each floor (which belongs to one of the brother and their children as per above), how should we transfer ownership right if one or more of the siblings are not interested to maintain the property.

In other words, looking to cleanup ownership titles so that an associate (sharik) of multiple cousins does not become owner of house. Some of them may be staying and some not, which will lead to no maintenance of the property and lead to decay.

Execute partition deed. Once it is executed, 1/3rd share each will be fixed. Even now it is by oral partition and possession.

You can execute registered partition deed between all legal heirs you want to. The person who owns need to maintain you cant do any thing about it.  I'd he doesn't maintain others can  go for court against him

1. You mutate each floor or different portions but f if there is proof of title in respect of each area.

2. So do this you need to make a mutual deed of partition or family arrangement deed which would be relied upon to do such separate mutations.

3. The municipality can on this basis mutate the whole property in the name of each of the co sharers.

1. You can arrive at an amicable partition to divide the property into three parts, i.e.,  ground, first and second floor among three brothers accordingly.

Draw a partition deed with the help of an advocate and get the same registered.

After that each individual can apply for mutation of revenue records as per the partition deed on individual's name except your case, which shall be mutated on the joint names in favor of all the legal heirs of your deceased father.

 

 

2. Once the partition deed is prepared dividing the property into three parts,  the share of property shall be with the respective shareholders, except your case where all the legal heirs of your deceased father shall hold the property jointly.

Your cousins shall not entitled to any share in the property during the lifetime of their respective fathers.

Dear client 

The as you all are living there it is a simple process you should goto sub registrar office and apply for mutation in which the property will be divided in three equal parts. But the application must be signed by all the members of the family.  

The partition will be done for the empty land and floor will also be written in the papers.  So that when the building demolished For new construction  in future there will be no dispute for the land.
