About this template
What is this template?
This document is a formal record of a property partition arrangement between relatives and specifies the exact distribution of joint assets. It is not a simple Gift Deed or a Sale Deed, as it focuses on the internal re-allocation of existing family rights and the subsequent mutation of records. The document contains specific provisions for the discharge of previous owners from future property-related liabilities.
When should you use it?
Use this document when family members have reached a consensus on how to divide ancestral or joint properties to avoid litigation. If you are a single owner transferring property to a child for no consideration, use a Gift Deed instead.
What's inside
