I live with my husband in the top floor of our house and the ground floor belongs to my husband’s elder brother .The problem is we do not have the house papers with us , and now after living almost above 14 yrs here we are being forced by my husband’s elder brother to leave the house ,or otherwise we would left with no power supply at our residence and he’ll send a notice as soon as he can.My husband’s father is in complete favour with us and he even wants to help us ,,but nobody knows what exactly should be done.Is there any scope/chance of getting the house by collecting evidences from our family members,grandparents,,would that help or anything that can be done plss suggest..Do we simply have to leave the house??Please i need your sincere help .., please reply asap… looking forward for needful suggestions..thnxxx!!

Immediately apply for an Encumbrance Certificate for the land on which your house is located. This will help you identify the owner. Also, approach the corporation and find out in whose name is the “Khata” of the property in? Who has been paying property tax. Once you get details from these documents, apply for the certified copies of the title documents from the sub-registrar’s office.
