Top lawyers in India for NRI legal matters

It???s common practice for relatives in India to illegally occupy property owned by their near and dear ones, specially in case the near and dear ones happen to be NRIs. It???s also observed that vacant property plots and houses that are thought to be safely guarded and locked have often been found to be in possession of local miscreants and goons.

The only legal relief in such circumstances is to file a criminal complaint of trespassing and cheating along with civil suit for injunction and eviction in the concerned court of law.

It has also been seen that due to social structures and sensitivities in India, most parents avoid executing a Will here. Because of this, post the parent???s demise, a lot of siblings have to take the legal recourse to divide the property. The situation becomes tougher for NRIs, especially if the property possession is with their siblings or relatives.
