Protection of Senior Citizens – MWPSC Act, 2007

Many elderly parents transfer property to their children with the expectation of care and support. If such expectations are not met, we help:

• Cancel Gift/Transfer Deeds if children fail to fulfill their responsibilities.
• Insert and enforce “maintenance clauses” in property transfer documents to protect elders.
• Seek monthly maintenance for parents under the MWPSC Act, 2007.
