What goes wrong — Punjab and Jalandhar specifics
The exemption is notification-based, not statutory
Punjab exempts gifts to blood relatives from stamp duty, but the exemption and its relative list have been varied by notification over time. The position at the date of registration governs, and this is the single most important thing to confirm for a Punjab gift.
Daughters are coparceners in their own right
Since the 2005 amendment and Vineeta Sharma (2020), daughters hold coparcenary rights equal to sons regardless of whether the father was alive in 2005.
Every co-sharer must join or the deed can be reopened
A partition omitting a coparcener or heir is vulnerable to challenge. Identifying the complete set is the substance of the work.
Very high NRI ownership and PoA-based transactions
The Doaba belt has one of India's highest concentrations of NRI property owners, and a large share of transactions run through powers of attorney. PoA scope, attestation and revocation status need checking as routine.
Long-vacant NRI properties and encroachment
Properties left unoccupied for years attract encroachment and adverse possession risk. Twelve years of continuous hostile possession can extinguish an owner's title.
