Our Power of Attorney Services for NRIs

• PoA Drafting: We draft comprehensive, legally robust PoA documents — General (broad authority) or Special (specific tasks like selling one property) — tailored to your exact requirements.
• Execution Guidance: We guide you step by step through execution at the Indian Embassy/Consulate in your country or before a local notary, ensuring Indian legal requirements are met.
• Adjudication & Registration: We handle the entire India-side process — adjudication at the Collector's office and registration at the Sub-Registrar — as required under the Registration Act, 1908.
• FEMA Compliance: For PoAs covering financial transactions or property sales, we ensure full FEMA compliance to prevent future regulatory issues.
• Misuse Protection: We build safeguards into the PoA — time limits, specific powers, revocation clauses — to prevent misuse by the appointed attorney.
• PoA Revocation: If a previously granted PoA has been misused, we execute revocation and initiate legal action against the misusing attorney.

The Process — Getting Your PoA Executed & Registered

1. Consultation: You specify what tasks the PoA should cover (property sale, court representation, banking, etc.) and who should be your attorney (agent) in India.
2. Drafting: We draft the PoA document and send it to you electronically for review and approval before execution.
3. Execution Abroad: You execute the PoA before the Indian Embassy/Consulate or a local notary in your country. We provide exact instructions.
4. Apostille / Consularisation: The PoA is apostilled (Hague Convention countries: USA, UK, Australia) or consularised (non-Hague countries: UAE, Saudi Arabia). We guide you through this.
5. India-Side Adjudication: We receive the executed PoA in India and get it adjudicated at the relevant Collector's/SDM office.
6. Registration: Where required (immovable property matters), we register the PoA at the Sub-Registrar's office.
7. Ready to Use: The PoA is ready — we commence the legal or property work on your behalf immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can a PoA executed in the USA/UK/Canada be used for property registration in India?

Yes — provided it is notarised, apostilled (for Hague countries) or consularised, adjudicated in India, and registered at the Sub-Registrar's office for immovable property. We manage the entire India-side process.

2. What is the difference between a General PoA and a Special PoA?

A General PoA grants broad, ongoing authority — suitable for long-term property management. A Special (Specific) PoA is limited to one task (e.g., sell a particular property) — safer when you want limited authority.

3. My earlier PoA was misused — the agent sold my property without authorisation. What can I do?

We file a criminal case for breach of trust and cheating, a civil suit to set aside the fraudulent sale deed, and an urgent injunction to prevent further transfers. Such fraudulent sales can often be reversed by courts.

4. Does a PoA expire automatically?

Unless a time limit is specified, a PoA does not automatically expire. However, it is automatically revoked on the death of the principal (you). For property sale PoAs, we advise building in a time limit of 1–2 years for safety.

5. Can I grant PoA to NRI Legal Consultants directly?

Yes. We act as attorney for our NRI clients for court representation, property transactions, and legal proceedings. The PoA is drafted to specifically authorise our advocates to act on your behalf.
