How it works

From your details to a registered, usable Power of Attorney

  1. Tell us about the matter

    The country you sign in, the purpose, the property, and who will represent you — a few guided questions.

  2. Pay one flat, all-inclusive fee

    Drafting, attestation guidance, and Kerala registration coordination — government charges included, shown in your currency.

  3. Share your documents

    Upload a photo ID and your property documents so the advocate can draft accurately for your exact matter.

  4. We draft, attest & register

    The advocate drafts the PoA, confirms the wording, guides apostille or embassy attestation, and coordinates Kerala registration.

By your country

Apostille or embassy attestation — the route depends on where you live

USA, UK, Canada, EU, Australia

Hague Convention countries — notarise locally, then apostille. A single certificate, accepted directly in India.

UAE & the Gulf

Outside the Hague Convention — attested by the local Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then the Indian Embassy or Consulate.

Singapore, Germany & others

Route depends on the country. We confirm whether apostille or embassy attestation applies before drafting.

Kerala-side registration

For a sale or transfer, the PoA is adjudicated for stamp duty and registered at the Sub-Registrar — coordinated for you.

Built to prevent misuse

The drafting stage is where PoA fraud is prevented

Most Power-of-Attorney abuse comes from vague, over-broad documents. Yours is drafted narrow and specific, with the safeguards that keep control with you.

Keep it Special. Limited to named acts for your exact property — far harder to stretch or misuse than a broad General PoA.
Named property. The PoA cites the exact survey number, village, taluk, and district, so it cannot be applied elsewhere.
Proceeds protected. Sale proceeds routed only to your own NRO/NRE account, with an expiry on the authority granted.
Revocable. A revocation can be drafted and notified if trust breaks down, and the PoA is registered so it is on record.
Questions

NRI Power of Attorney — common questions

Do I have to travel to India to make a Power of Attorney for my Kerala property?

No. For most NRIs the Power of Attorney is signed before a local notary and then either apostilled (USA, UK, Canada, EU, Australia — all Hague Convention countries) or attested by the local Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Indian Embassy (Gulf countries). It is then sent to Kerala, where it is adjudicated and, for property sales, registered at the Sub-Registrar. The signing happens where you live — no India trip is needed to create the PoA.

How much does it cost to get a Power of Attorney executed?

The full execution service is a flat, all-inclusive fee covering the advocate drafting your Power of Attorney, guiding the apostille or Indian Embassy attestation route for your country, and coordinating stamp-duty adjudication and Sub-Registrar registration in Kerala. The fee is shown up front before you pay, and payers abroad see the equivalent amount in their local currency. If you only want to understand the process first, the PoA Builder guide starts free, with a small one-time fee to unlock the full country-by-country guide.

Should I give a General Power of Attorney or a Special Power of Attorney?

For a specific task — selling one property, completing a mutation, or representing you in one matter — a Special (specific) Power of Attorney is safer. A General Power of Attorney grants broad authority and is far more open to misuse. The PoA should name the exact property by survey number, village, taluk, and district, and list only the powers actually needed.

How do I stop my relative or agent from misusing the Power of Attorney?

The most common safeguards are: keep it Special (not General), limit it to named acts, set an expiry, require that sale proceeds go only to your own NRO/NRE account, and register the PoA so it is on record. A revocation can be executed and notified if trust breaks down. The drafting stage is where most misuse is prevented — vague, over-broad PoAs are what get abused.

What is the difference between apostille and embassy attestation?

Apostille is a single certificate added by the competent authority in Hague Convention countries (USA, UK, Canada, EU, Australia) and is accepted directly in India. Gulf countries are not in the Hague Convention, so the PoA instead goes through the local Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Indian Embassy or Consulate for attestation. The route depends entirely on where you live.
