Generally you have to verify the legality of the ownership from who you are going to purchase the land. The seller is to have a valid title. You have to check the origin of the ownership for at least 30 years. Further you have to ensure the encumbrances on the said property by getting encumbrance certificate from the Registrar. You are advised to get the legal opinion from the Government Pleader.

AI Summary

Title verification is essential when purchasing land; confirm chain of title and encumbrance status before transfer. Title verification is essential: ensure the seller has a valid title and trace the origin of ownership (advised for thirty years). Obtain an encumbrance certificate from the Registrar to identify mortgages, charges, or other liabilities, and secure a formal legal opinion (for example from a Government Pleader) to review documents and confirm the seller's capacity to transfer before completing the purchase.
