Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a property dispute take to resolve in Nepal?
Timeline varies significantly. Negotiated settlements can be reached in weeks. Contested litigation at District Court level typically takes 1–3 years; appeals to the High Court may extend this further.
Can you help verify property title before purchase?
Yes. Title verification is essential before any property transaction in Nepal. We review land certificates, field map surveys, mutation records, and encumbrance history at the relevant Land Revenue Office.
What is a partition suit?
A partition suit is a legal action to divide jointly-held property among co-owners, typically family members. We handle both consensual partition documentation and contested partition litigation.
Do you handle cases involving ancestral property?
Yes. Ancestral property matters, including inheritance rights under Nepal's Civil Code and customary practices, are a significant part of our civil property practice.
