• Joint property with loan on one person

Hi,

I have a home loan of a property jointly owned by me and my mother but loan is only on my name. 
Lets suppose I become invisible or no where to find, what happens now? 

What I want is my mother clear the loan amount and get an NOC from bank and she should be able to sell the property on her own without any paperwork or anything from my side. 

Will a affidavit or power of attorney will do the trick?

Hello,

All you need to do is to make a Power of Attorney authorizing your mother to act on your behalf.

The POA must be registered to enable your mother to sell the Proprty in your absence.

It will also authorize her to get NOC from the bank and deal with all formalities of closing the loan.

1. Do not try any trick while taking Bank loan in your interest,

2. You want that you will abscond after taking loan by mortgaging the property jointly owned by you and your mother and enjoy the amount for which your mother should pay the loan to get back the joint property,

3. If your mother wants to repay the loan for you willingly she can do that for which you won't have to become invisible. After she makes the payment, the Bank will return the original deed to you without asking who paid for you,

4. However, if you abscond and your mother is not willing to pay, she can lodge a police complaint alleging that you have run away with the loan amount for which her share of the joint property mortgaged with the Bank is in danger.

If you abscond and your mother does not to pay, then the joint property mortgaged with the Bank would be auctioned to recover the amount. In case she wants to pay loan ,she can do without your being disappear.It does not seem bonafide on your part.

1. Banks have lawyers on their panels who know how to answer and counter such tricks. If you abscond the bank can file a criminal case of cheating against you whereafter non-bailable warrant of arrest may be issued against you. If a non-bailable warrant is issued and you are arrested it will be difficult to secure bail in the first place.

2. If your mother is willing to pay the outstanding loan she can do that without you having to become invisible. Bank will return the original title deed to you as and when the principal amount and the interest thereon is paid. It will not refuse to return the title deed as it is interested in only recovering the amount lent by it.

2) if the loan is in your name why will your mother repay the loan .

3) you can repay the loan . bank will return the original title deeds and property can then be sold

4) you can execute registered power of attorney in your mother name . your mother can then sell the property .

A. You can execute the Registered GPA in favor of your mother with respect to transfer of property by way of sale etc., Hence, Affidavit is not permissible in the above situation.

B. You can also execute Registered Release Deed in favour of your mother because of both have 50% joint ownership over the property.

C. In case you become invisible that the Bank can recover the loan by attaching the property or present a security cheque before the bank for filing a criminal case against you.

Dont play trick with the bank because if you abscond then the bank can file a case of cheating and can further recover the loan amount.

If your mother is willing to pay the outstanding amount, then she can pay the loan without you being invisible. On receipt of loan the bank will return your original title property.

Thereafter you can execute a registered General Power of Attorney(GPA) in favour of your mother and then your mother can sell the property.
