PoA or document execution is the blocker

The issue is clear but nothing can move in Kerala until the right PoA is executed through MOFA and the Indian Embassy.

Active legal work needs to happen in Kerala

Sale, registration, mutation, or a dispute needs local representation while you remain in Saudi Arabia.

FAQ

Common questions

What do Malayalis in Saudi Arabia usually need a Kerala lawyer for?

The most common matters are protecting and selling Kerala property, executing a Power of Attorney for transactions back home, claiming and transferring inherited property, and cross-border family disputes. Saudi Arabia has one of the largest Malayali workforces in the Gulf, and most of these matters can be started through an online consultation without taking leave to travel.

How does a Power of Attorney work from Saudi Arabia for Kerala property?

Saudi Arabia is not a Hague Convention country, so the apostille route does not apply. The PoA is notarised, attested by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then attested by the Indian Embassy in Riyadh or the Consulate in Jeddah. It is then sent to Kerala for adjudication and, for property sales, registration. The PoA must be specific — naming the exact property and the powers granted.

Can I sell my Kerala property from Saudi Arabia without travelling?

In most cases yes. A registered Power of Attorney lets a trusted person sign the sale deed and complete registration in Kerala, while sale proceeds are routed to your NRO account and repatriated within the USD 1 million per financial year limit using Form 15CA/15CB. The property is verified and the tax planned before the sale.

I am an OCI card holder in Saudi Arabia — can I inherit and sell Kerala property?

OCI holders can inherit Kerala property, including agricultural land, though they cannot purchase agricultural land directly. Inherited property is brought into your name through a legal heir or succession certificate and mutation, after which it can be retained or sold remotely. Sale proceeds and repatriation follow the standard NRO and FEMA rules.

Need a Kerala lawyer who works around your Saudi schedule?

Book a consultation to get a legal assessment of your property, inheritance, or family matter. I handle matters from Saudi Arabia with WhatsApp coordination, Indian Embassy PoA guidance, and local court access across Kerala.
