How to apply for duplicate registered sale deed?

My father passed away few months back and I inherited few acres of agricultural land. The original sale deed and parent documents are lost and I couldnt even find a copy. I just know the survey number. Is there a way I can get a duplicate copy of the registered sale deed?

How to apply for duplicate registered sale deed?
You need to first give a paper notification in the local daily about the loss of mother deed and original sale deed of the demised property with a statement that in case you do not get to know the whereabouts of the documents (Banks, money dealers etc) you will be applying to the competent authority for issue of a duplicate copy of the sale deed. On expiry of the notice period, you can apply to the Sub Registrar of land registration and local municipal/village authorities to issue a duplicate copy of the sale deed. Since you are the legal heir, I think, you also need to obtain a succession certificate from the court. It is better that you seek the service of a local lawyer who can do these services for you at a cost.
Reply:Sure. All you have to do is go to the courthouse and apply for a "lost deed".





Bring the necessary documentation to show that you are authorized to have it, such as a copy of the will.





If there is no will, then you may have to go through a real estate attorney to file the proper paperwork.
