Property Disputes from Jordan: how it works
We obtain the title, revenue and municipal records and any tenancy agreement, and send notices. Where a tenant refuses to leave, we file for eviction; where a relative claims ownership or has forged documents, we seek declaration, cancellation and an injunction.
We keep you informed after every hearing and negotiate settlements where possible.
If you own property in Punjab and are an NRI, the special summary eviction right under section 13-B of the East Punjab rent law may give a quicker route.
If a relative has taken over your agricultural land, we advise on the revenue court remedies for possession and on correcting the revenue record, which are often faster than a civil suit.
We also explain the risk of adverse possession claims where someone has occupied the land openly for many years.
What clients in Jordan should know
