Recently, one of my friend’s dad in West Bengal asked me can you sell part of your property, as he has the ancestral one? I informed him, yes you can sell part of your property. However, it must be legally subdivided to create a separate lot. Also, if the property is jointly owned, you typically need to offer your share to the other co-owners first before proceeding with the sale.
Can I Sell Part of My Property?
Yes, you can sell a portion of your property. But doing so is more complicated than selling the whole thing. Unless there is a written agreement against it, you are free to sell any portion of the property if you are the sole owner. I informed my friend’s dad the following things.
According to Mitakshara rules, you can sell the ancestral property for family needs, but please be aware the land was divided before the sale and that the title is in your name with a mutation.
In cases of joint tenancy, selling your share typically requires the consent of all co-owners. If consent is not obtained, the sale may be challenged legally.
Also, if you have a child, his consent must be present or you must get consent from the district court.
This process involves getting the required approvals from local authorities.
Given the complexities involved, it is advisable to
consult with a highly experienced legal professional
to help you with the process.
