Re: Ancestral property

You may get a "family settlement deed" drafted from a local deed writer and get the same registered with the authorities. Based on this deed, the properties will be transferred in the names of respective owners.

However, you should transfer possession before the settlement deed; and it should be mentioned in the deed that the parties have taken possession of their respective shares.

Registration of a "family settlement' is not compulsory. However, it may facilitate transfer of name in government records.
