What goes wrong — Andhra Pradesh and Visakhapatnam specifics
Assigned land carries a permanent alienation bar
Land assigned to landless beneficiaries under the AP Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act generally cannot be transferred at all, and the bar survives every subsequent sale. Such land periodically reaches the market through chains that look ordinary.
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.
