Partition Deed

What this covers

Property inherited or bought jointly is held in undivided shares: everyone owns a fraction of the whole, and no one owns a specific piece. A partition deed converts those shares into physically defined, separately owned portions by agreement among the co-owners. It is the calm alternative to a partition suit.

Amicable partition

Where the co-owners agree, partition is a drafting job, not a lawsuit. We work out the shares, the physical division on the ground and the map, and record who takes which portion, with any adjustment for value differences. Everyone signs, and each ends up with a title they can sell or mortgage on their own.

Getting the shares right

The hard part is fairness and accuracy: correct shares under the applicable succession or ownership rules, a division that matches the map and possession, and clear boundaries. We make sure the deed reflects what the co-owners actually agreed and what the record will support.

Documents you will need

• The co-owners’ title and the khatian/porcha showing the shares
• Details of all co-owners and their National IDs
• The mouza map and any survey of the division
• Inheritance or purchase documents establishing the shares

How long it takes

An agreed partition can be drafted and registered within days to a few weeks once the co-owners are aligned and the shares and division are settled. The negotiation among co-owners, not the paperwork, usually sets the pace.
