Property Lawyer in Navi Mumbai

Property law regulates the different types of ownership in real (land) and personal property. Legally secured rights to properties, such as land and personal property, including intellectual property, are referred to as property. Contract law can be used to exchange goods, and if the property is broken, tort law can be used to defend it.

ParthaSaarathi LLP through its consultations, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, litigation provides the best possible practical customized solutions to property problems in a fast & effective manner. Some innovative property solutions we are providing at different forums to our clients are as under:

RERA, Consumer & NCLT

While RERA has addressed the issue of timely delivery of possession of properties, parking, and proper usage of funds, the execution of RERA orders is a problem.

At ParthaSaarathi, we help our clients throughout the execution process before the RERA, Sub-Divisional Magistrate, by prompt filing and follow-up on the applications for execution by way of attachment of properties, arrests in extreme situations, and approaching High Court for issuing necessary directions for fast implementation of the orders of RERA.

Our lawyers who are also amongst the best Consumer Lawyers in Navi Mumbai also take care of filing the complaints at Consumer Forums for all the property-related problems considering the Consumer Forum’s slight advantage over other platforms and its inherently strong executive powers in terms of:

• Fast delivery of Property possession
• Getting the Refund of the amount paid along with compensation as high as 18%

NCLT is also an option for homebuyers facing the above issues with builders. As RERA orders are becoming increasingly difficult to get implemented, NCLT comes as a preferable option. However, we recommend approaching NCLT only in exceptional circumstances when project delivery and order execution might be challenging.

Family Settlement Agreement

A family settlement is an arrangement reached by family members to decide how a property should be shared. All of the parties involved should be related and have a claim to the contested estate. It also covers movable assets like jewelry or money in Bank Accounts. A family settlement is sensible to resolve common property or joint family property instead of individual or self-acquired property transferred by way of a Will.

At ParthaSaarathi, we have this far more amicable, pocket-friendly solution to any family settlement. It is a conciliation process where our lawyers who are amongst best family lawyers in Navi Mumbai help the family arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution for a property dispute. A family settlement could be a single document incorporating the distribution of assets or a series of documents detailing each family member’s property rights.

A settlement agreement could be one brother gets House. The other receives a Family Shop premise, and the sister gets jewellery and any arrangement that they mutually agree. A settlement agreement is not used as a gift and is non-transferrable as per the Income Tax laws. Therefore, a separate gift and sale deed may have to be made by the family settlement agreement.
