Amrik Singh belonged to a family which left its native village Dayalpur, in Jullundhur District in the state of Punjab, India, almost forty-five years ago. Personal situations somehow led to circumstances that prevented them from visiting India again. Settled in New Jersey with his parents, wife and two children, he got news of his paternal grandfather ‘demise. Amrik and his parents were aware that the aged grandfather had been looking after the family land personally and had been responsible for the tilling, sowing, selling of the crop and other maintenance. However, neither his father nor Amrik was aware of the exact location or size of the property. This meant that now it was time to look back at their inherited property in India.
A confused and helpless Amrik traced the company details through the internet and contacted our New Jersey office and told us about their inherited property in India on the insistence of his father who was keen on going back to his native land, even if just to wind up all property affairs once and for all. All he could tell the legal staff here was that there was land in Dayalpur that rightfully belonged to him since he happened to be the sole heir of his grandfather. However, he and his family were not very clear whether the land belonged to Amrik's grandfather alone or was co-owned by the grandfather and his brothers. Attempts to contact local authorities left Amrik exasperated about ownership and area.
It was then left to the company legal experts to start a massive land search process for this family and whatever they have inherited. A thorough report regarding the exact status of his property was prepared after obtaining the necessary information from the local administration. Besides a description of the land in question, calculation of the total land area was also done. Moreover, property ownership details were traced out so that property titles could be clearly specified.
In this particular case, it had to be legally confirmed what the share of all co-owners was so that the division could be done in a fair manner. Amrik was guided to start procedures to transfer the inherited land in his name so that further action could be carried out. The company also bore the onus of finding out the precise current market valuation of the property so that the client could get a fair price during the time of sale.
