A property transaction is often one of the most significant financial decisions a person makes. Whether you are purchasing a flat, transferring property to a family member, executing a Power of Attorney, planning your estate through a Will, or evaluating redevelopment documents on behalf of your housing society, the legal implications can extend for years.
Unfortunately, many disputes arise not because people intended to make a mistake, but because they signed documents without fully understanding their rights, obligations, and risks.
At The Law Suits, founded by Advocate Sulaiman Bhimani, we assist individuals, families, housing societies, managing committees, and property investors in reviewing, drafting, negotiating, and registering property-related documents with clarity and confidence.
Our objective is simple: help clients make informed legal decisions before disputes arise.

If you are purchasing a flat, executing a Gift Deed, drafting a Will, reviewing a builder agreement, facing a parking dispute, or evaluating redevelopment documents, obtaining legal advice at the right stage may help avoid future litigation, delays, and financial losses.
Common Legal Mistakes Property Owners Make
Many legal disputes can be traced back to a document that was signed without proper scrutiny.
Signing Builder Agreements Without Independent Review
Builder agreements are often lengthy and drafted primarily to protect the builder’s interests. Buyers frequently assume that these agreements are standard and cannot be negotiated.
In reality, many agreements contain clauses relating to possession timelines, force majeure, maintenance obligations, penalty provisions, cancellation rights, and dispute resolution mechanisms that deserve careful review.
Purchasing Property Without Title Verification
A property may appear attractive on paper and at the site visit stage. However, title defects, pending litigation, encumbrances, incomplete approvals, or irregular documentation can create serious complications later.
Legal due diligence is often far less expensive than resolving a property dispute after purchase.
Executing Powers of Attorney Incorrectly
An improperly drafted Power of Attorney can create confusion regarding authority, limitations, duration, and accountability. In some situations, it may even lead to allegations of misuse or unauthorized transactions.
Family Disputes Due to Absence of a Will
Many families assume that succession will naturally occur without conflict. Unfortunately, inheritance disputes often arise when a person passes away without a properly drafted Will or clear succession planning.
Redevelopment Documents Signed Without Understanding the Risks
Redevelopment projects involve complex documentation, including Development Agreements, Permanent Alternate Accommodation Agreements (PAAA), and various representations made by developers.
Members should fully understand their rights before consenting to redevelopment proposals.
Society Transfer and Parking Disputes
Membership transfers, share certificate issues, and parking disputes are among the most common areas of conflict in Cooperative Housing Societies.
Lack of Conveyance or Deemed Conveyance
Many societies continue to occupy buildings without obtaining proper conveyance of the land and building from the developer. This can create difficulties in redevelopment, title verification, and future transactions.
Property Documentation & Registration Services
Power of Attorney Drafting and Registration
A Power of Attorney is not merely a formality. It is a legal instrument that authorizes another person to act on your behalf. We assist clients in drafting, reviewing, and registering Powers of Attorney while ensuring that the document clearly defines authority and protects the interests of the principal.
Sale Deed Drafting, Vetting and Registration
A Sale Deed forms the foundation of ownership rights. Before signing a Sale Deed, critical aspects such as title, approvals, liabilities, and transaction terms should be examined carefully.
Our team assists in drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and registering Sale Deeds while identifying potential legal risks.
Builder-Buyer Agreement Review
Many buyers rely solely on verbal assurances provided by sales teams. We review builder agreements to assess possession commitments, delay compensation provisions, cancellation rights, maintenance obligations, dispute resolution clauses, and MahaRERA compliance.
Property Due Diligence and Title Verification
Before investing in property, legal verification is essential. Our due diligence process includes reviewing title documents, ownership history, encumbrances, approvals, litigation records, and society documentation.
Gift Deeds, Release Deeds and Family Settlement Documentation
Property transfers within families are often undertaken with good intentions. However, incorrectly drafted documents can create tax implications, succession issues, and ownership disputes.
We assist with:
- Gift Deeds
- Release Deeds
- Family Settlement Arrangements
- Succession-related Documentation
- Property Partition Documentation
Every family situation is unique and deserves careful legal planning.
Wills and Family Property Planning
A Properly Drafted Will Is Not About Wealth—It Is About Clarity
Many people postpone preparing a Will because they believe it is only necessary for wealthy individuals.
In reality, a Will is one of the most important documents a person can create for their family.
A properly drafted Will can:
- Clarify how assets should be distributed
- Reduce the likelihood of family disputes
- Protect the interests of a spouse and children
- Provide certainty regarding property ownership
- Simplify succession procedures
Registration of Wills
Although registration of a Will is not mandatory in many situations, some individuals prefer registration for additional evidentiary value and record preservation.
We assist clients with:
- Drafting Wills
- Reviewing Existing Wills
- Succession Planning
- Registration-related Procedures
- Family Asset Protection Planning
A carefully drafted Will is often one of the most valuable gifts a person can leave for their family.
Cooperative Housing Society Legal Services
Membership and Share Certificate Transfers
Property transactions frequently involve society transfer procedures. We assist with membership transfers, share certificate transfers, transfer documentation, and society compliance requirements.
Parking Disputes
Parking disputes often create friction among society members. Legal advice can help members understand applicable bylaws, allocation procedures, rights, obligations, and available remedies.
Conveyance and Deemed Conveyance
Obtaining conveyance is often essential for societies seeking greater control over their property and future redevelopment rights.
We assist societies in understanding conveyance procedures, deemed conveyance processes, documentation requirements, and legal strategies where developers fail to cooperate.
Redevelopment Advisory for Housing Societies
Redevelopment decisions can affect hundreds of families and involve substantial financial consequences.
Societies often receive presentations from developers promising larger flats, corpus funds, rent, and amenities. However, members should evaluate more than promises.
Important questions include:
- Is the developer financially capable?
- Does the Development Agreement adequately protect members?
- Is the PAAA balanced and enforceable?
- Have all approvals been properly obtained?
- Are timelines realistic?
- Are members’ rights sufficiently protected?
Our redevelopment advisory services include:
- Development Agreement Review
- PAAA Review
- Tender Process Scrutiny
- Risk Assessment
- Member Rights Protection
- Developer Obligation Analysis
- Redevelopment Dispute Advisory
The objective is not merely to review paperwork but to identify legal and practical risks that may affect members for years.
