A title search gives NRI property owners complete clarity about who legally owns a property, whether the title is clean, and whether any disputes, loans, or risks exist. Since NRIs often rely on information shared remotely by brokers or relatives, a professional title verification ensures that every decision, whether buying, selling, inheriting, or managing property, is based on verified records collected directly from government authorities.

Our service helps you understand the full ownership history of the property, detect any irregularities, and avoid fraud or disputes before you take any financial step.

What We Do for You

1. Ownership Verification: We begin by confirming the present ownership through official land and property records. This includes checking the registered sale deed, revenue entries, property tax records, and government portals to make sure the person claiming ownership is genuinely the legal owner.
2. Chain of Title Examination: We examine previous transfers such as sale deeds, gift deeds, release deeds, partition documents, and inheritance papers. This helps us confirm whether each transfer was lawful, properly executed, and correctly recorded. A continuous, error-free chain of ownership is essential for a clear title.
3. Encumbrance Check: We look for encumbrances like mortgages, bank loans, court attachments, government dues, or any legal restrictions that may prevent sale or transfer. This ensures you do not unknowingly buy or inherit a property that carries hidden financial liabilities.
4. Litigation Search: We conduct a detailed search across court records and tribunal databases to identify ongoing or past disputes involving the property, the owners, or related parties. Even a small pending case can delay transactions or create complications, so this step protects you from unexpected legal trouble.
5. Record Comparison: We compare entries from different authorities such as municipal records, land revenue departments, and registrar records to identify inconsistencies. Even small mismatches in survey numbers, area measurements, or owner names can create major issues later, so we flag them clearly.
6. Final Legal Opinion Report: After completing all checks, we prepare an easy-to-read report summarizing our findings. This includes whether the title is clear, what risks (if any) were found, and what steps you should take before making payments or signing documents. The report gives NRIs the confidence to make informed, safe decisions from anywhere in the world.

Who This Service Is For

This service is ideal for NRIs who want to:

• Buy residential or commercial property in India
• Sell or transfer inherited land or family property
• Confirm the title is clean before making an advance payment
• Cross-check property documents shared by relatives or brokers

If you’re unsure about the property’s background, a title search is the first and most important step.

How the Process Works

Step 1: Share Property Details

You provide the location, survey number, municipal number, and any documents you have. Even minimal details are enough for us to start the initial search.

Step 2: Record Collection

We visit the local registrar, revenue office, tehsildar office, and municipal departments to collect certified copies. If records are digitised, we retrieve them online; if older, we collect them physically from government archives.

Step 3: Legal Examination

Our legal team reviews the entire document set, checks for gaps in the chain of ownership, verifies the authenticity of records, identifies errors, and highlights practical risks that NRIs must be aware of before moving ahead.

Step 4: Final Report Delivery

We prepare a clear, well-structured title search report explaining the findings in simple language, along with our recommendations and next steps. This helps you understand the exact status of the property, even if you’re living abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can you verify old records if the property is very old?

Yes. We trace historical records as far back as required to confirm the chain of ownership, even if it involves old manual registers.

2. Do you physically visit government offices to collect records?

Yes. Many records are online now, but older documents still require in-person visits, which our team handles for you.

3. Can you check if the builder has all approvals?

Yes. If you’re purchasing a flat or plot from a developer, we can verify layout approvals, building permissions, and occupancy status as part of the due diligence.

4. Do you provide legal representation in case of disputes?

Yes. Since we are licensed attorneys in India, we can represent you if the title search uncovers any dispute or if litigation support becomes necessary.
