176

Before clearing a property for sale or purchase, a lawyer conducts legal due diligence to ensure it’s free from disputes, encumbrances, or fraud.

Key Documents Lawyers Verify:

  • Title Deed: Confirms legal ownership and checks for clarity in ownership history

  • Sale Deed: Validates the last transaction and ensures it’s properly registered

  • Encumbrance Certificate (EC): Checks for loans, mortgages, or legal claims

  • Property Tax Receipts: Ensures no pending dues with the municipality

  • Approved Building Plan: Confirms construction matches sanctioned layout

  • Completion & Occupancy Certificates: Verifies legal construction and habitability

  • Mutation Records: Confirms property is updated in revenue records

  • NOCs: From fire, water, electricity, and environment departments

  • Power of Attorney (if applicable): Ensures it’s specific, registered, and valid

  • Will / Partition / Gift Deeds: For inherited or gifted properties—checks for clarity and consent

What Lawyers Also Do:

  • Cross-check ownership on state land portals

  • Flag any title disputes, encroachments, or missing approvals

  • Issue a legal opinion stating whether the property is safe to buy
