Property transfer is one of the most crucial legal acts, but unfortunately, it is also prone to fraud and malpractice. Disputes often arise when a property is sold through misrepresentation, coercion, forgery, or by a person without legal ownership rights.

✅ Common Causes of Property Transfer Disputes

1. Forgery of documents – Fake signatures or fabricated sale deeds.

2. Misrepresentation – Seller hides material facts such as existing mortgages.

3. Transfer by unauthorized persons – When property is sold by someone without legal title.

4. Coercion or undue influence – When consent of the transferor is not free.

5. Stamp duty and registration errors – Improperly registered documents cause disputes later.

⚖ Legal Remedies Available

1. Cancellation of Sale Deed – A civil suit can be filed to cancel a fraudulent transfer.

2. Declaration of Ownership – Courts can declare the true owner of property.

3. Criminal Action – FIR for fraud, forgery, or cheating.

4. Injunction Orders – To restrain further illegal transfers.

5. Rectification Deed – In case of clerical or registration errors.

📌 Why Legal Help is Essential

Challenging a fraudulent transfer involves both civil and criminal proceedings. Immediate legal action ensures rightful ownership is protected.
