Link documents for a property refer to the chain of legal documents that establish the ownership history and transfer of the property from one owner to another over time. These documents are essential for verifying the title and ownership of a property. To obtain the link documents for a property, you can follow these steps:

1. Identify the Relevant Documents: Determine the specific types of link documents that may be applicable to your property based on its history and the jurisdiction in which it is located. Common link documents include sale deeds, gift deeds, partition deeds, wills, conveyance deeds, mutation or khata certificates, and encumbrance certificates.

2. Visit the Sub-Registrar's Office: The Sub-Registrar's Office is the government authority responsible for registering property transactions. Visit the office that has jurisdiction over the area where the property is located.

3. Submit a Request: Submit an application or request for the link documents of the property. Provide relevant details such as the property address, survey number (if available), and any other information requested by the authorities.

4. Pay Fees: Pay the prescribed fees for obtaining the link documents. The fees may vary depending on the specific documents requested and the policies of the Sub-Registrar's Office.

5. Document Verification: The Sub-Registrar's Office will process your request and verify the availability of the requested link documents. They may conduct a search in their records to ensure the documents are available and accessible.

6. Obtain Certified Copies: Once the verification process is complete, you can obtain certified copies of the link documents. The certified copies serve as official proof of the property's ownership history.

It must be brought to your notice that the process and requirements for obtaining link documents may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific practices followed by the Sub-Registrar's Office. It is advisable to consult with a legal professional or visit the appropriate government office responsible for property registration in your area to obtain up-to-date information regarding the procedure for obtaining link documents for a property.

Hi
Try to get an encumbrance certificate from the sub-registrar office for the last 30 years. it will show all transactions in the last 30 years. if there are no transactions, then you need to go for a link forensic (a professionalised service) where certified copies of all your link deeds will be obtained by taking photographs of links as recorded manually in Sub registrar office.
In link forensics, we can get documents as old as year 1908. It will be costly , but may be worth it if you so desire.
