How it works from abroad
Consultations happen by video call at a time that suits your time zone. Documents are shared by email. Where a document has to be signed abroad, I explain how it must be executed and attested for use in India, and a power of attorney can let a family member or representative act locally. You receive updates after every hearing.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to travel to India for a property case?
Often not. Consultations happen by video call, and a properly executed power of attorney lets a trusted person act in Uttar Pradesh on your behalf. Some steps, such as giving evidence, may need your presence or a video link.
How do I sign a power of attorney abroad for use in India?
It is executed before the Indian embassy or consulate, or before a notary with the required attestation, and then stamped in India within the prescribed time. I explain the exact steps for your country before you sign.
Someone is occupying my family property in Uttar Pradesh. What can be done?
A suit for possession and injunction can be filed, and revenue and police remedies may be available depending on the facts. Collect your title documents and khatauni entries first.
