• Minor during property partition

My grand mother divided his property and gave the partitions to every one. But one person was passed away at the time of partition and his wife said she dont want the property and mutually she signed in the document, they had one son that time he was minor, so instead of him his mother signed the document mentioning clearly mentioning as he is minor she is signing.

Now we are unable to take any property loan and the advocate is saying as he is a minor at the time of partition the deed is not valid, but we have already constructed few house in partitioned land without taking loans. I have started my first floor applying the loan but the bank advocate is not accepting to release the loan amount saying this issue. That guy is now a major and also ready to sign any document but he is now in out of country and he is unable to come to india due to Covid19. Please some one help me in this issue `

He can give POA. Further, minor could have challenged the partition within 3 years on becoming major. If he has passed 21years of age, partition has become final.

Also, it was grand mother property, so she was free to give her property to anyone. Signature of minor mother had no say in partition.

Neither minor had any share at that time in the life time of grand mother.

1. Yes , the mother can not relinquish share of her minor sin without the permission from court of wards. 

2. So the said deed of release is voidable contract at the option of the minor son.

3. Now the option is to take permission from court or to get a deed registered by the person who has attained majority now.

4. On the basis of POA in favour of any if you the said deed of release can be registered now in India in his absence.

It's important to give share to him now if you have reaped the profit of that property. Actually when minor is involved you need courts permission to deal with property matters

The minor person who has become a major now by age, can execute a registered ratification deed ratifying the partition deed draw during the time of his minority and signed by his mother on his behalf.

He can give a POA deed to any close relatives back in India to execute the same on his behalf before the concerned sub registrar in India.

If he is consenting you can take any decision. 

No it's not valid you need to get a registered partition deed or other document of settlement. If you are ik kuwait it needs to be attested in embassy or consulate and then registered in India. 

No bank will accept it without registration

Is this a partition deed or settlement deed ?

Well, your title is secure now. No issues.

Wife can take decision in the interest of child  but now child claim is also waived.

Child and mother can give NOC but it is  not required.

Take the NoC from child and attested by Indian embassy or from notory from Kuwait, if bank ok with it.

Use it temporarily and give an understanding that once covid situation over, will provide notorise NOC.

He could have challege it till 22 years of age. Now barred by limitstion.

3 years on becoming major.

Who actually owned this property? If it was of grand mother self acquired property than child father never had share and grand mother was free to give her property to any. Mother noc was not required.

The legal fact is that the son, even after three years of becoming major by age,  has not claimed his share in the property hence it is barred by limitation, therefore no claim from him at this stage is maintainable in law.

You said that many people have already constructed houses in their plots 

Well,  there's no legal infirmity in it. 

Their bankers might have utilized their discretionary powers to sanction the home loan. 

You cannot pressurize your banker to sanction loan against the advice of their empaneled advocate. The Indian stamp paper cannot be used for execution of any deed outside the country. 

Hence he can execute a NOC from his current country of residence on a plain paper. Whether he will be able to go outside his home to get it notarized in the current situation is his problem,  you should not be worried about it. 

Even though the husband died and the minor child shall be under the custody of mother,  she do not have rights to forego the son's rights in the property during his minority.

Generally and as per law the rights in the property can be claimed by the son within three years from the date of becoming major or from the date of his knowledge. If he claims that he came to know about his rights in the property recently then it will not be affected by the law of limitation.

Bank lawyer dose not know law. Provide him copy of judgement Supreme court.

Law it clear that to impeach the transfer of immovable property by the guardian, the minor must file the suit within the prescribed period of three years after attaining majority.

The bank lawyer is correct in his opinion.

This information was confirmed by me in one of my earlier posts, yo may go through my posts in this regard.

Thus if you require loan from bank then yu may have to bide by the prescribed procedures of law in this regard.

You were advised of necessary course of action to be undertaken in this regard, if you still have doubt you may consult an advocate in the local or any advocate of this forum on all such further issues.

- If the said deceased person was a party of the partition by the grandmother , then his share would be devolved upon his legal heirs i.e. his wife , and children . 

1. No , The mother i.e. his wife can relinquish her share but not a minor son without getting court order . Hence after becoming major , the permission the said minor needed legally . 

2. No, she cannot sign on behalf of her son , but after taking SPA/POA from the said son , she can sign on his behalf 3. Yes , it can be valid if the bankers requirement fulfilled by doing so. Otherwise reply No.2 will be applied. 

4. If he unable to noterize , then you should discuss the bank official to accept the his declaration with identity proof. 

- After becoming major , within 3 years he can file suit . 
- Yes, he can file on the ground of knowledge , but it is not maintainable with proving the same . Actually bank want
to be sure , that in future there cannot be any challenge in the property mortgaged.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that the property was relinquished by the lady of the then minor child.
  2. I would like to apprise you that this is very right to say that the then minor and now being the major has the right in the property.
  3. But, it is also very right to say that he may not be able to get any relief from the court of law as her mother have the valid consent on the behalf of the son which is also considered to be valid making som has no right now to claim in present time.
