Frequently Asked Questions
Should the FCDO process come before checking the Indian deed?
No. First confirm ownership, names, property details and the precise authority required in India.
Can an old family arrangement establish the present share?
It may be relevant, but compare it with succession documents, registered instruments and current revenue entries.
Does paying expenses from Britain prove exclusive ownership?
Payment evidence is relevant but does not alone decide title or the shares of co-owners.
Can a UK notary correct an Indian property description?
The Indian record should supply the description. A notary authenticates execution and does not determine Indian title.
What if one co-owner has collected all rent?
Preserve tenancy and payment records; accounts, partition, possession or other relief depend on the ownership and arrangement.
Does UK residence prevent an injunction application in India?
No. The competent Indian court assesses interim relief from the title, threatened act and urgency.
