RESEARCH PROPOSAL

SUBJECT- DPC
TOPIC: DEED OF PARTITION
NAME- RAJ VARDHAN SINGH.(1635)
Real estate properties are often owned jointly by multiple people of the family. The fact that
there exists more than one stakeholder makes it difficult to divide or sell it generally due to
varied interests of the people who own the property. However, the government has ensured
various provisions so that a property can be evenly divided amongst its co-owners.
A partition deed enables the property to be divided among the co-owners of the property such
that each co-owner is allotted his share thereby making him the rightful owner of the share
allotted to him. Partition deed ensures the legal division of the property which is jointly held by
severalpeople. Once the division is done as mentioned in the partition deed, each member is
entitled to sell, gift or transfer his share of the property according to his needs.
Let us discuss a few scenarios that are generally observed while a property is undergoing the
partition. Partition with mutual consent is the most mature and peaceful way to divide a property.
If all the co-owners of the property have mutually agreed to divide a property, they can move
forward by executing a partition deed and registering it at the local registrar office. The partition
deed will ensure the division of the property as per the share owned by co-owners. Once the deed
is executed, co-owners will become legal owners of their respective share and are free to sell or
transfer. On the other hand, if the joint owners of the property are not on the same page over its
division, an appropriate lawsuit should be filed in the court. This is to be followed by executing a
partition deed on a stamp paper specifying the share of each co-owner of the property. Moreover,
the deed should be registered at the local registrar office to give it a legal standing.
