Q: How to convert GPA into a sale deed if the owner is dead? What is the process to convert GPA to sale

Hi, what is the GPA full form in property? We have a GPA in my mother's name that was originally in my mom's brother's name and executed in 1980. We never bothered to convert it into a sale deed, but now we need to for selling purposes. However, he has passed away, and we cannot find the old chain of documents. Could you suggest the best possible way to convert GPA to sale deed?

Advocate Prachi Narang answered
A GPA is a valid document that entitles the person in whose favour it is made to transfer the property to anyone and in any manner as he may deem fit. If you have a will or and Agreement to Sell executed in favour of your mother then that will amount to a valid transfer of property. If not, the sale of property cannot happen without proper authorization from the GPA holder. To see exactly what kind of rights were already vested with your mother in the property and what more can be acquired, I'll have to see all property documents you have.

Q: Procedure to transfer of DDA flat on Spouse's Name

Original allottee of a DDA flat . Wants to transfer it to wife's name due old age. How it might be possible without incurring any additional expenses. Alternately, is it possible that a GPA & a Will is made in her name - giving her all rights to manage(sell or transfer it further to anybody she likes) the property in whatsoever way she likes ? Thanking you,

Advocate Prachi Narang answered
You can easily transfer the property in your wife's name by means of GPA, Agreement to Sell and Will. All these documents save you the cost you will incur for registering a sale deed. Alternatively, you can also execute a gift deed in favour of your wife. Request you to get in touch for further details.

Is there any more document which can be saved? This property is freehold, self earned property of my grand father...as mentioned by many lawyers that registered gift deed can be challenged, then what is the best way to safeguard my interests?

Advocate Prachi Narang answered
Even though a gift deed and a valid will if executed properly is a proper document to pass on the title of a property, in most cases its validity is challenged by the other surviving legal heirs. In case you wish to make it full proof, there are some other documents such a General Power of Attorney and Agreement to sell etc. that can also be executed in your favour to ensure that your right in the property is absolute and no one else has a right to challenge the same. Also, there are some pre-requisites to executing a will and gift deed as if not executed properly and in accordance with lawm these documents will have no value. To provide you further help in this matter, I will need to examine the documents already executed in your favour and provide you with some additional documents that you can get them executed in your favour so your ownership is secure.
