Possession of house for 50 years can I sell it
07-Jun-2023 (In Property Law)
We have been living in a house for more than 50 years. We are regularly paying property tax to the municipality. But we don't have proper documents to claim the ownership of the house. Now we are in need of money. How do we proceed to sell the house?
since you are more than 50 years in the same property and you are having the tax bills. so you can sale the property. if any body objects, you have to file a case in the court and you can get the order then also you can sale the property.

Hi
Technically if you have been in possession of property for 50 continuous years and paying taxes to municipality, electricity bills and having water connection (assuming these taxes are in the name of elders/yourself), then you are the owner of the proper.
50 years ago, people were simple and honest and hence documentation was bear minimum.
however as we have evolved, people also have become cunning and dishonest.
Also law has evolved.
though you might not have any problem in selling the property, it is good to consult a lawyer with all documents you have so that if there is any lacunae( missing documents) the same can be rectified and you can get a higher sale value.
hope this helps.
