What are land/property registration and associated documents?
Immovable property transactions and ownership changes are documented through the land or property registration process. The procedure provides the new owner of the plot of land or other piece of immovable property with a legal ownership title assurance.
In the local office of the land registrar, land or property registration is often documented in the form of a land registration document (land registry). This legal document includes information on the owner, registration documentation, and several other legal aspects related to land.
Procedure for Land Registry name change
If the owner of the property changes their legal name, the Land Registration Documents should likewise reflect this name change. However, the procedure can only be started when the formal name change procedure has been concluded.
How to alter your name legally in India?
Submission of an affidavit:
Obtain a notary to create an affidavit for the name change that includes the new name, the old name, the current address, and the cause for the name change (could be marriage, astrology, etc). Two individuals holding the level of gazette officers must sign the affidavit (along with stamp).
Advertisement's Publication:
Advertise the name change in a prominent local newspaper. The previous name, new name, birthdate, father's or husband's name, and home address should all be included in the advertising.
Journal Notification:
Send a copy of the advertising and the other necessary papers to the Department of Publication (under the Ministry of Urban Development) in India to get a notice about the name change published in the Indian Gazette.
After a formal and legal name change, the property owner must go to the land register office and provide self-attested documentation of his or her new name along with a small fee. The licensing division of the land register office launches an investigation into the idea of a name change on the property after verifying all the facts. This action is performed to make sure that no fraudulent endeavors are made in the name of this name change.
The name is changed in the Land Registry records once the legal name change has been successfully verified. Delivering paperwork to the owner's address indicating the completion of the name change on the land registration signals the end of the procedure.
Cases of Names Misspelled in Any Deed
If a typographical error necessitates a name change, the party (owner) need just visit the registrar's office with documentation of the right spelling of the name to have it fixed.
Any document, including a sale transaction that contains a name error can be corrected if it is not accepted by executing a registered deed of correction (the previous seller may do so in the new owner's favor). The party may also submit an affidavit for a name change in property records together with a case to the tax officer.
Obtaining a certificate confirming that the name (or several names) is the same from the "village officer" or Tehsildar is an alternative to the process. This certificate can be put to good use for a variety of purposes.
