How to make an authentic power of attorney?
Question asked by Subha from USA :
Hello,
I am an NRI and want to purchase/register a land in Trichy. At the registration offices i heard that they are nowadays insisting that the party has to be personally present for the registration. I want to give my brother POA for the purchase/registration. For my POA to be valid in Tamilnadu for the authentication, how should it be made? I know i need to get to get attested from embassy. When I affix a photo of mine and sign across it, will it be accepted for registration?
Thanks,
Subha
Vatsala Speak:
The law allows any person who is unable to be present personally for registration to be represented by a power of attorney holder. You should get the power of attorney executed and notorized in the U.S. or alternatively endorsed by the Indian Consulate. Thereafter it should be sent to India and should be stamped with local Indian stamp duty (this will be embossed on the document) within 3 months of its receipt in India. The photo will be required only if the authorities in the US insist upon it. Vatsala
