• Regarding voluntarily giving land for widening the road - Kerala

Hi,
After getting multiple requests from my neighbours, I plan to donate 1 feet of land, on one side of my property, where currently a small lane of 4.5ft connects to backside houses. My neighbours have agreed to take care of all expenses incurred for this, which they think is (only) demolition and construction of existing compound wall on that side.
What are the other legal matters I should keep in mind when I donate land for widening the road. How can I change the area of land currently in my property documents, so that I do not face any problem if I want to cell my property. What would be the kind of expenses I can expect for the change in property documents?

- Since , you have purchased the said property with the execution of documents in your favour , hence for changing of any clause in that documents presence of both parties required.

- Finally, you cannot change/rectify the existing details and area specifications in your documents.

- Better to draft a mutual agreement with the help of your neighbours , after mentioning that due to requirement of widening the road , 4.5 ft land is given for the same , and nobody has any right over the area in future ,except you.

- Accordingly , the new purchaser will have right to use over the same area as per law, and he will not hesitate to purchase from you.

As per u/s 17 of registration act property worth more than Rs.100/- if transferred then it need to be registered otherwise transferred is not valid.

To transfer your porperty in your neighbour name you need to make gift deed Or sale deed.

You have to execute gift to make neighbor owner of that portion/area. IS this a public or pass between houses.

Who owns road on that side 4.5ft wide?

Area in your title document will not change but by registered gift deed, 1 ft area shall be donate and shall be valid proof your land area with 1 ft less.

Dear

You need to execute an agreement in favour of municipal corporation for building of road.

You cannot change the current registration deed of your plot but while selling your property You need to disclose the agreement for donation of land to buyer and new registration will be according to remaining land.
