Power of Attorney for Property

Do you want someone to manage, sell, or handle your property-related affairs on your behalf? A Power of Attorney (POA) is the legal document that empowers a trusted person to act for you in property matters. Whether you’re an NRI, a senior citizen, or simply unavailable to handle the transaction in person, a property POA can save you time, effort, and legal trouble.

What is Power of Attorney for Property?

A Power of Attorney is a legal authorization given by one person (called the Principal or Grantor) to another (called the Agent or Attorney-in-Fact) to act on their behalf for specified purposes. When it comes to property, a POA enables someone to:

  • Buy, sell, or rent property
  • Execute and sign sale deeds or lease agreements
  • Represent the principal in property registration or legal disputes
  • Apply for loans, manage tenants, or collect rent
  • Handle mutation, utility connections, and other municipal matters

This legal tool is extremely useful when you’re physically unavailable, legally restricted, or want to delegate real estate responsibilities to someone trustworthy.

Types of Power of Attorney for Property

Choosing the right type of POA is crucial. We help you decide based on your specific needs:

General Power of Attorney (GPA)

Gives broad authority to the agent to manage all kinds of property-related matters. Suitable for long-term representation.

Best for:

  • NRIs with property in India
  • Senior citizens who want a family member to manage affairs
  • Owners managing multiple properties remotely

Special Power of Attorney (SPA)

Limits the agent’s authority to one or a few specific tasks, such as selling a particular property or signing a lease agreement.

Best for:

  • One-time property sale or purchase
  • Signing a specific deed or legal document
  • Appointing someone just for registration or loan closure

Who Needs a Property Power of Attorney?

A POA can be valuable in many scenarios:

  • NRIs managing property in India
  • Elderly individuals needing assistance with legal work
  • Busy professionals or business owners
  • Family members handling ancestral or inherited property
  • Spouses handling joint property when one is abroad

By using a properly drafted POA, you can avoid legal complications and delays, especially when selling or leasing property in India.

Documents Required for Property POA

  • Property documents (Sale deed, Khata, etc.)
  • For NRIs: Passport, OCI/PIO card, foreign address proof
  • Draft of POA (we can help prepare one tailored to your needs)

What’s the Difference between Registration vs. Notarization?

Registered POA: Executed before the Sub-Registrar and legally stamped. A registered POA is more secure and widely accepted in courts and government offices, especially for property sales or transfers.

Notarized POA: Certified by a notary public. Useful for general management, rent collection, and municipal tasks. For NRIs, POAs must be notarized in their country of residence and then attested at the nearest Indian Embassy or Consulate.
