Hello Experts,

Core Issue – I have zeroed in on a flat (really really liked it) in a gated society of a reputed builder.

While doing final discussion for Token amount and Purchase price, seller revealed that she is divorced. Post Marriage, both husband and wife jointly bought this property, then a year late had a divorce and since wife was more contributing in Emi’s, she bought the 50% share of husband via Gift Deed and later had made new agreement of the house in her name.

Other information – Seller now lives with her parents and is in plans to move to abroad for further education..

Question – I am just getting doubtful now if there can be issues later. What kind of checks I should do before going ahead? What can I do to mitigate any potential future issues if her ex-husband comes to claim or does create a scene for claim.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Don’t. Unless you meet both the parties and have in it written. You never know when things change in this situation.

There is something called property record with the revenue department of government so you can see that and get to know is the real owner

Check the share certificate with the society if it has only her name then it should be no issue buying the property. The share certificate and agreement state who is the real owner of the property.

First check the title owner from the Department of Stamps and Registration in your city.
