Frequently Asked Questions
Registration of a Will is not mandatory under Indian law — an unregistered Will is legally valid if properly executed and witnessed. However, registering your Will at the Sub-Registrar's office adds an extra layer of authenticity and makes it significantly harder to challenge in court. We strongly recommend registration for valuable estates.
A General Power of Attorney (GPA) grants broad authority to the agent to act on your behalf across multiple matters. A Special Power of Attorney (SPA) is limited to a specific transaction or purpose — such as selling a particular property or representing you in a specific legal proceeding. We help you determine which type suits your requirements and draft it accordingly.
Yes. NRIs can execute a Power of Attorney at the Indian Embassy or Consulate in their country of residence. We draft the POA document, coordinate with the NRI client remotely, and guide them through the attestation process. Once the attested POA is received in India, we handle the adjudication and registration formalities.
