Relinquishment of an Inheritance

Answer what you can. The draft beside these boxes is rewritten as you go, so you can see exactly what each answer does to the document.

What you type stays in this browser. Moving to a new step asks this site to draw it, but nothing is kept anywhere until you choose to keep a copy — and closing this tab loses it.

Nothing is amiss in what you have written. The document is simply not finished, and the draft marks each gap where an answer will go.

The draft, as it stands

This is the document as far as you have reached, not the whole of it yet — the rest appears as you answer more questions. It is rewritten every time you change an answer.

A long blank line — __________ — stands wherever an answer has not been given. It is left that visible on purpose, so an unfinished document cannot be mistaken for a finished one.

No answer has been given, so every place a detail belongs is standing blank. The shape of the document is worth reading even now.

LEGAL BASIS

Punjab: This deed works as a release of an already vested immovable inheritance. Article 55 applies and section 17(1)(b) requires registration. Where the Hindu Succession Act applies, sections 8-16 contain the principal intestate rules and section 19 addresses succession by two or more heirs. The stamping note sets out the Article 55 position, including the Punjab blood-relation remission, and the registration note gives the fee.

Chandigarh: The same Registration Act/Article 55 treatment applies to release of a vested immovable interest. Sector property must be updated in the Estate Office file. The stamping and registration notes give the Chandigarh lines; the Estate Office record fee was not confirmed, and the applicable personal succession law must be identified from the estate.

PERSONAL DATA NOTICE

This notice is given under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

The purpose of collecting personal data in this inheritance relinquishment is to identify the deceased, heirs and vested property share being extinguished and support registration and post-registration succession records.

If the matter does not proceed, the personal data will be retained for 90 days and then erased. If the matter proceeds, the record will be retained for the matter plus 12 months, except where a statute requires a longer named retention period.

Data minimisation: this document does not collect a full Aadhaar number, an Aadhaar-card copy, a password or bank credentials.

SIGNATURE

The rest stays out of view until every answer is in.

Reading costs nothing. Keeping a copy needs an account.

The opening of the draft is on this page as you answer it. Once every answer is in, the button below opens the whole draft, watermarked — still without an account. Printing it, or keeping a clean copy, is where an account is asked for. That is the whole arrangement.

A kept copy has to belong to somebody, and that is the reason for the account. There is nothing further to it.
