Why it is harder from abroad

Why Property Disputes Are Common for NRIs

Distance

Attending hearings, meeting officials and checking on the property in person is difficult when you live abroad.

Lack of local supervision

Property left unattended for years is more exposed to encroachment, illegal occupation and forged documents.

Family disagreements

Inherited and jointly owned property often leads to disagreements between relatives over shares, use and sale.
