A relinquishment deed allows a legal heir to give up their share of inherited property in favour of other heirs. When someone dies intestate (without a will), this document helps transfer the title. The legal heir must renounce their inherited share to another legal heir or co-owner of the property. The transfer can happen with or without consideration. However, all parties must be co-owners for the transaction to be valid as a relinquishment deed.
The main goal of a Relinquishment Deed is to allow a legal heir to voluntarily give up their share in inherited property. It formally communicates that the person no longer claims any rights over the property, helping to prevent disputes and ensuring a clear transfer of ownership among co-owners.
Registration of a relinquishment deed begins once the client provides the necessary details. After submission, a lawyer is assigned to the case and coordinates directly with the client via phone or email.
The service charges typically include:
The first draft of the relinquishment deed is typically delivered within 3–4 working days. However, if required urgently, it can be prepared and delivered within 24 hours on a priority basis, subject to additional charges.
A relinquishment deed can be revoked within three years from the date of its execution. Once this time period has lapsed, the deed becomes irrevocable and legally binding.
