Joint Ownership Dispute Lawyer in Ahmedabad

FAQs

One co-owner is renting out our property and keeping all the income — what can I do?

You have a clear right to your share, in proportion to your ownership stake. A co-owner who rents out the property and pockets everything is denying you something the law already gives you. We send a formal demand first, and if that fails, we file a suit for accounts, which lets the court calculate exactly what you’re owed and order it paid.

Can a co-owner sell their share without my consent?

Yes, but only their own share, not the whole property. Any co-owner can sell, gift, or mortgage their individual interest without asking you first. What they can’t do is sell or mortgage the entire property as if they owned all of it. If someone tries to do that, we challenge the transaction and protect your portion of the property.

A co-owner died — does their share automatically come to me, or go to their heirs?

It depends entirely on how you hold the property together. Under joint tenancy, the surviving co-owners automatically receive the deceased person’s share, and their heirs get nothing from that property. Under tenancy in common, the deceased co-owner’s share passes to their own heirs instead, not to you. We check exactly how your ownership is structured before telling you which rule applies.
