Property paperwork and legal services in Chennai are essential for ensuring smooth and legally compliant real estate transactions. These services encompass the verification of property documents, title searches, drafting and reviewing sale agreements, and handling registration processes. Legal experts in Chennai are adept at navigating local laws and regulations, providing clients with critical guidance to avoid potential legal pitfalls.
1. Legal Services
Legal Opinion: We give legal advice on a variety of property matters, including title issues when purchasing a property, review of a sale transaction or partition, gift, settlement, and inheritance issues in the event of a disagreement or lawsuit. We have a staff of empanelled lawyers who can advise and guide you through legal difficulties.
Remember that an independent legal opinion from a competent lawyer is required to ensure clear titles at the time of acquisition. Relying on a builder’s or seller’s legal advice, or assuming safety because banks have approved house loans for a certain project, does not guarantee clear title. Banks rely heavily on your ability to repay loans before extending them. We will send the documents to our appointed lawyer for assessment to determine any further documents required and the projected timeline.
In complex instances, additional service charges may apply, which will be communicated to you after the lawyer has reviewed the case. We will ask the lawyer to prepare the opinion after receiving your acceptance and payment. The lawyer will prepare the Legal Opinion based on the materials given, and a soft copy will be sent to you via email. A hard copy of the Legal opinion, as well as any documents you submit, will be sent to your address.
2. Agreement / Deed Drafting
We can draft agreements, contracts, and deeds for any property-related objectives. This can contain drafts of the Sale Agreement, Sale Deed/Conveyance Deed, Gift Deed, Will, Partition Deed, Settlement Deed, and so on. A well-drafted legal document helps to eliminate uncertainty and prevent future problems by emphasising clarity and purpose.
Place your order and give us the relevant documents and information via email or courier, whichever is more convenient. We shall forward the materials to our appointed lawyer for preparation and vetting of the Agreement / Deed for the specified objective.
The draft will be created with the primary goal of preserving your interests and guaranteeing that any transaction you enter into is legal and offers you / your successors peaceful possession of the property. Once the draft is complete, we will send it to you via email so that you can utilise it for its intended purpose.
3. Registration Assistance
We can help you register the Sale Deed, Gift Deed, or any other deed for your property with the appropriate jurisdictional Sub-Registrar’s Office. We can walk you through the procedure and have our representatives/lawyers accompany you or your designated Power of Attorney holder. In circumstances when you are unable to be present and require our legal representation, we can act as your Power of Attorney for an additional fee.
Place your order and send us the Deed draft format, previous sale deed copy, latest property tax payment receipt copy, Patta & Extract copy, or courier it to us, whichever is most convenient. We send the paperwork to our appointed lawyer to check the registration costs and stamp duty charges that apply.
We will then assist you in obtaining the payment instruments (DD) for the registration and stamp on time, if necessary. We will assist and advise you on TDS deductions that may be applicable.
If you are unable to be physically present for the registration, we can assist you in preparing a special Power of Attorney (POA) for a family member or relative to represent you in this case. In the case of NRIs, POA adjudication is required, along with additional expenses and a stamp fee.
Our executive and lawyer will be physically present with you or your POA holder during the registration process. We will guide you through the procedure to ensure everything runs well.
4. Rental Agreement Assistance
We can assist you in drafting a comprehensive rental agreement that will safeguard your property and rights. We have a professional panel of lawyers who can design rental / lease contracts with particular terms to meet your specific requirements. Place your order and share your tenancy terms. We will offer you a draft of the rental agreement after thorough inspection, and we will include the necessary terms and conditions in an appropriate legal form after consulting with our legal staff. You can either confirm the draft or request clarifications and modifications. Once verified, the draft becomes final.
Our executive works with you and the renter to get the agreement signed and franked. To guarantee a successful completion of this process, you must communicate our function to the renter ahead of time. Once the Agreement is stamped, it will be delivered to your address. International shipping will incur additional costs.
5. Patta Issuance / Transfer
We handle Patta issuance and transfer for properties in Chennai and its adjacent districts (Kanchipuram, Chengalpattu, Tiruvallur). The service is subject to government procedures and the availability of all papers as necessary by the relevant authorities (CMDA, VAO).
Place your order and give us scanned copies of the relevant documents via email or courier, whichever is more convenient. All orders are taken on a research basis only, to ensure viability. Once the feasibility has been determined through investigation, we will notify you of any extra documents required and our service costs for the same. If this is not possible, we will notify you of the specific reasons why the order cannot be completed.
Remember that, while the process is the same, its application and documentation requirements may differ from property to property. Once you confirm and pay, we will apply for the Patta along with the necessary supporting documentation.
We perform the running about and follow-up till the process is complete. However, the issuance/transfer of Patta is strictly based on local authorities’ procedures, supporting paperwork, and the property’s eligibility criteria. Once the Patta has been received, it will be delivered to your address. International shipping will incur an additional fee.
Documents Required:
Please provide a copy of the sale deed, the most recent property tax receipt, the previous Patta copy, and any prior litigation information.
