What goes wrong — Jharkhand and Ranchi specifics
CNT and SPT Acts restrict tribal land transfer
The Chotanagpur Tenancy Act and Santhal Pargana Tenancy Act prohibit or heavily restrict transfer of tribal land to non-tribals across much of Jharkhand. A transaction breaching them is void and the land is liable to restoration to the original holder. This is the single most important check in the state and has no equivalent in most of India.
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.

Khatiyan-based records and long chains
Jharkhand's records rest on old survey khatiyans, and reconciling a modern deed against them is frequently the substance of a title investigation.
