Hello,

You have to give a GPA general power of attorney to a person and he will find the buyer and sell the property on your behalf. But you do have to come to India in order to finally transfer the right title and interest in the property ti thevothet person and without presenting yourself before the registrar final disposition cannot be made.

1. You visiting India isn’t compulsory. You can enter upon a GPOA or a SPA for your separation and registration in favour of any person.

2. You need to get the GPOA attested and registered through Indian Embassy.

3. Further it will be sent via courier to the concerned person in India.

For any assistance for the said work plz feel free to consult.

This is my response to you:

1. You can appoint a legal representative or you can send any family member through a POA;

2. The POA can be notarized in UK itself and sent to India;

3. Your representative can file for separation and registration on your behalf.

Hello,

As far as processes are concerned, a power of attorney can be granted by you (to a lawyer or a trustworthy friend etc who would need to get it registered first in India) to get the process done. However, it would be better to find out informally from the concerned authorities where the property is located, the requirements for getting the registration done, especially since it is a case of agricultural land. There would be a process involved in granting a power of attorney at your end and then the POA holder getting it registered here in India upon receipt. Since you have safety concerns (and I am guessing family issues involvement), it may be worthwhile to engage a lawyer from the state (but not so local so as to be pressurised by another party) where your property is located. If you need any further help, please get in touch through the website/contact details that may be available there.

Thanks and best regards,

1. You are deficient in providing details for giving proper advice.

2. Understand that you are going to file Divorce Suit and also get settlement deed registered by your father duly settling agricultural land in your favour and you are not in a position to visit India for safety reason.

3. You can get the printout of the divorce Suit to be fil;ed by you from your lawyer in India and append your signature there upon before the appropriate officer of your local Indian Consulate who will notarise your said signature.

4. You shall have to thereafter return the said plaint of the divorce suit to your Indian lawyer for filing the same before the appropriate District Judge in India.

5. In case of registering the settlement deed, you can follow the same procedure to get the signed settlement deed sent to you for appending your signature thereupon as a token of your acceptance of the said settlement and return the same to your Indian lawyer for registering the same.

6. Such getting your signatures notarised by the appropriate officer of local Indian consulate might stand practically as a herculean task for you for which your is to India is advisable for completing the said jobs subject to your convenience.

1. You want to register your agricultural land in India. To do this you do not have to come to India. You may execute a General Power of Attorney (GPA) in favour of a relative in India to authorise him to complete the registration/mutation process in India for and on your behalf.

2. The said GPA has to be attested before the Indian Consulate in UK.

1. You can execute the GPOA in favour of anybody in India to represent you or to act for and on your behalf

while performing the act as described in the said GPOA.

2. The said GPOA holder in India can be your friend also.

3. However, the Advocate who is contesting or shall contest your case can not be your GPOA holder to represent you since the applicant and his lawyer can not be the same person.

The power can be delegated only to close relatives by the NRI principal for various reasons.

Hence the POA deed executed in respect of immovable property in favor of a close friend may not be entertained though there is no particular law restricting the close friends to act as power agents.

However you try and give power to your friend, let the registrar reject it for the valid reasons he may rely upon and then you may look for an alternative.
