The discrepancy should be investigated before any sale, mortgage or transfer proceeds. The correct procedure depends on whether the problem is a clerical error, cadastral mismatch, succession issue, ownership dispute or an earlier unrecorded transaction.
Possible steps
- obtain certified records;
- compare ownership certificate and shresta;
- review cadastral map and field book;
- identify the transaction that created the discrepancy;
- request correction if the matter is administrative;
- pursue adjudication if ownership itself is disputed.
