Why Title Due Diligence Matters
A defective title can lead to lengthy court litigations and loss of property rights. Conducting a 30-year title search guarantees that the seller possesses clear ownership and legal right to transfer title.
Crucial Legal Documents to Inspect
- Mother Deed (Parent Document): Trace original land grant or initial sale tracing back to the primary land owner.
- Sale Deed & Registry Document: Verified copy of the registered conveyance deed executed at the Sub-Registrar office.
- Mutation Entry (Jamabandi / Namantaran): Government revenue record confirming the change of land ownership in revenue books.
- Form 15 & Form 16 Encumbrance Certificate: Proves no mortgage or legal claims exist against the property parcel.
