Family Settlement/ Partition Deed Registration in Delhi

A Family Settlement Deed also known as a partition deed is a legal agreement between family members who mutually agree upon the distribution of assets and properties of a person. This helps avoid disputes that often occur when a will is implemented. Hence many people prefer a partition deed over a will.

• Fill out Form A with signatures

FAQs

1. Can a family settlement deed be implemented after the death of a person? Yes, a family settlement deed can be implemented after the death of a person in Delhi. As long as all the legal heirs are willing to agree and the agreement is fair, it can be enforced even after the person's death.
2. Can a partition deed only be used within a family? No, a partition deed isn't limited to family members only. While it's often utilized within families to divide property among relatives or co-owners, it can also be employed between non-family members or individuals who jointly own a property. The primary purpose remains the same: to legally and officially allocate shares and rights to different owners or co-owners.
3. Does a person lose ownership over their assets and properties once the partition deed gets registered or after they die? No, the registration of a partition deed doesn't lead to the immediate loss of ownership over assets and properties for an individual. Once the partition deed is registered, it legally allocates the shares of ownership among co-owners as agreed upon. However, ownership remains intact until any change, transfer, or inheritance occurs, such as through sale, gifting, or bequeathing in a will after the individual's demise.
