Family Property
Family Property Dispute Lawyer Delhi
Partition, succession and inheritance disputes among siblings, parents, spouses and legal heirs in Delhi.
Family property disputes are different from other litigation. The legal issues are intertwined with relationships, emotions and history. Samvid Law Chambers approaches these matters with discretion — exhausting settlement avenues where possible, and litigating decisively where necessary to protect the client's rightful share.
Family Property Matters We Handle
Partition between siblings, claims by daughters under the 2005 amendment, succession disputes after the death of a parent without a will, probate of wills, challenge to wills on grounds of suspicious circumstances or undue influence, disputes over HUF property, disputes between widows and in-laws, and protection of senior citizens from dispossession by children under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007.
Settlement and Mediation
Where possible, we facilitate family settlements through mediation — documented in a registered family settlement deed that binds all parties. This usually preserves both the property and the relationships. Where one party refuses to engage, we move to court without delay.
Senior Citizens' Protection
Parents dispossessed by children can apply to the Maintenance Tribunal under the 2007 Act. The Tribunal can order eviction within stipulated timelines. We file and prosecute these applications for affected parents.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
