Property Law
The property buying process involves: 1) Agreement to Sell, 2) Title verification and legal due diligence, 3) Obtaining encumbrance certificate, 4) Payment of stamp duty and registration charges, 5) Execution of Sale Deed, and 6) Registration at Sub-Registrar office. We assist clients through each step to ensure a smooth transaction.
Registration charges in Tamil Nadu include stamp duty (typically 7% of property value) and registration fees (1% of property value), subject to applicable limits. Additional costs may include legal fees, documentation charges, and other incidental expenses.
Title verification is the process of examining property documents to confirm clear ownership and ensure there are no legal disputes, encumbrances, or claims on the property. It is crucial to verify the title before purchase to avoid future legal complications and financial losses.
Divorce & Family Law
Under Hindu Marriage Act, grounds for divorce include adultery, cruelty, desertion, conversion to another religion, mental disorder, communicable disease, renunciation of world, and presumption of death. Muslim, Christian, and other personal laws have their own specific grounds for divorce.
A mutual consent divorce typically takes 6-18 months in Chennai, including the mandatory 6-month waiting period under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act. The timeline can vary based on court schedules and case-specific factors.
