Society matters and conveyance are important legal areas that deal with property ownership, housing societies, and the lawful transfer of immovable property. Advocates play a crucial role in handling these matters to ensure that transactions are legally valid, transparent, and free from disputes.
Society matters mainly involve issues related to cooperative housing societies, apartment associations, and resident welfare bodies. These include society registration, drafting and amendment of by-laws, member disputes, maintenance recovery, redevelopment matters, elections, and compliance with statutory requirements. Legal guidance is often required to resolve conflicts between members and managing committees, handle expulsion cases, and ensure smooth functioning of the society as per applicable laws.
Conveyance refers to the legal process of transferring property ownership from a developer or previous owner to the society or buyer. Conveyance deeds are vital documents as they legally vest the title of land and building in the name of the society or individual. Delay or absence of conveyance can create serious legal and financial complications, such as restrictions on redevelopment or difficulties in obtaining loans.
Advocates assist in drafting, vetting, and registering conveyance deeds, deemed conveyance proceedings, sale deeds, and related documents. They also represent societies before competent authorities in deemed conveyance cases where developers fail to execute conveyance voluntarily.
Proper handling of society matters and conveyance ensures clear ownership, protects the rights of members, and prevents future litigation. Legal expertise in this field helps maintain harmony within societies and safeguards property interests in the long run.
