Legal Drafting Lawyer in Siliguri
Most legal problems we see in Siliguri start with a document: an agreement for sale that never fixed a registration date, a will with no residuary clause, a partnership deed that said nothing about a partner's death, or a rent agreement with no word on the deposit. As a legal drafting lawyer in Siliguri since 1982, our chamber on Hill Cart Road, opposite Meghdoot Cinema Hall, writes these documents so that they say what you mean, are stamped correctly and hold up if they are ever tested in court.
Every document has its own law. Property deeds follow the Transfer of Property Act 1882, the Registration Act 1908 and the Indian Stamp Act as applied in West Bengal. Wills follow the Indian Succession Act 1925 and your personal law. Agreements, MoUs, NDAs and employment contracts are tested under the Indian Contract Act 1872. Plaints and written statements follow the Code of Civil Procedure 1908, and bail petitions follow the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023. The pages below explain, for each document, what it must contain, what stamp duty or registration it needs, how long drafting takes and the mistakes that weaken it.
Our fee for drafting starts at Rupees 500 for simple documents and depends on the length and the negotiation involved. Stamp duty, registration fees and court fees are set by the state and are separate; we tell you the correct stamp value before you buy the paper, because an under-stamped document cannot be used as evidence until the duty and a penalty are paid.
Every page is reviewed by Adv. Abhishek Agarwal. The advocates in the chamber are Ramesh Kumar Agarwal, Abhishek Agarwal and Khushboo Agarwal Goyal. Ramesh Kumar Agarwal and Khushboo Agarwal Goyal are also Notaries Public, so a document we draft can often be signed and notarised in the same visit.

Affidavits and simple agreements are often ready the same day. Deeds, wills and business agreements usually take two to five working days, longer if terms are still being negotiated.
