Property registration is a legal process that establishes the owner's rights over a property. In India, all transactions affecting immovable property worth more than ₹100 must be compulsorily registered under the Registration Act, 1908. This ensures transparency and prevents fraud and conflicts. Whether buying, selling, or transferring real estate, understanding property registration can save future legal issues. This section explains the importance, steps involved, required documents, and how LawChef can simplify the process.

Testimonial
I contacted Lawchef to assist with a somewhat scary situation in which I was being sued personally for something that wasn't our fault. I was concerned we would lose everything, but after only a few sessions, the lawchef team had us under control.

The Lawchef team was not only very competent in a child custody dispute, but also very sensitive to the fact that it was turning out to be a stressful event for everyone concerned. team would regularly "check in" with us to make sure we were aware of what was going on.

The Lawchef team is the best I've ever worked with for contract drafting. He was very responsive when I had questions outside of our sessions and has always explained things to me in language I can readily understand.
