We trace the title of family property in India, check revenue, municipal and registration records, and advise whether a claim is still realistic. Where it is, we file suits for declaration, possession, cancellation of forged deeds and injunction in Indian courts, through a power of attorney. Long possession by others can create limitation problems, so early advice matters.

Property Disputes from Myanmar: how it works
Old properties often have gaps in the records. We search registration offices for deeds, revenue records for mutations, and municipal records for tax payments, and match them with family documents such as old passports and letters. We then identify who is in possession and on what basis.
Where a claim is viable, we try negotiation first, and otherwise file the appropriate suit with an interim injunction. For current owners in Myanmar facing encroachment or tenant problems, we act quickly to protect possession.
What clients in Myanmar should know
- Collect any old documents in the family, even if they seem unimportant.
- Limitation periods may already be running; act quickly.
- Non-citizen heirs can inherit, but may face limits on selling.

Questions from clients in Myanmar
Can we recover property left in India in the 1960s?
Sometimes, depending on the records and possession. We check before you spend money on a case.
Do we need to come to India?
Usually not; a power of attorney and video evidence where allowed are enough.
What if the property was declared evacuee or government property?
Different rules may apply; we check the records first.
