Procedure for division of joint property by mutual consent


16-Mar-2023 (In Property Law)

I want to know the procedure for division of joint property by mutual consent.There are 3 properties of similar value held jointly in the name of 3 brothers and each one wants to take one property.What will be the procedure and ways for division by mutual consent? How can we save stamp duty? What documents will be required so that each brother will be a registered owner of the property that he is taking so that no NOC or any sort of affidavit will be required in future from other joint holders? Thanx in advance..

Pl share the details of the properties viz agricultural or residential or commercial, location etc. Normally you all three can enter a family settlement and therafter the release deed will be executed by the sharers who are releasing the share. However, in this process normal stamp value is to be paid. In partition deed of registered the stamp duty is much lesser.

Hey if it is a family arrangement all that you have to pay the government is registration fees. You do not even have to pay ad valorem stamp duty. All that you need to do us thrash out your agreement on paper and you shall be good to go thereafter. This is pretty much it. Thanks much. Also tell me if the property is inherited or self earned.

First of all you have to disclose which state your properties are located at? As you may be aware that Transfer of Property bye laws may differ state to state. The rest of the legal opinion would follow accordingly. Thank you
