Hello everyone,
I am currently residing in Vancouver with my wife. I would like to give Power of Attorney to my mom in Chennai, India to sell an apartment there. I was trying to look up at the Indian Consulate website of Vancouver but it seems down. Has anyone done anything like this to help me with the procedure ?
Thanks
Get the POA prepared by an attorney there in India as required by the Registrar of the Properties in Chennai. If she prepares the same there in India it will be on a stamp paper. (Rs.50) You can get it into the mail if you if you have time to splurge. Otherwise on FOOLSCAP Paper, Legal size that is and in GREEN in Colour if you print the same when received by you as an attachment.
Please run a few copies.
The Indian High Commission will look for a signature location and room for a seal under your signature on EACH PAGE.
The property that you are selling should be well defined and the document that you are submitting should be fully functional. Check for spelling of each word and name also.
The person who will be acting for you and doing all of this must provide good pictorial ID and (HER) Thumb print attested there in. left hand for MEN and Right hand for LADIES??!!
If you have the copy of the DEED and title to the property, a attested copy of the same from the lawyer with his official seal.
The procedure given down below is as described in Toronto Website. I hope it holds good for Vancouver also. Please verify the same at that end.
Not knowing any other detail, I am providing the materials that they will look for from you as PROOF of Canadian Residency from you. You will have to submit the same.
You should have gotten all of these items from the Indian end and what are all of the Requirements from the Registrar who will do the needful there for the transfer, from him.. (When you do receive the same please let me also know what they are. ) Thanks,
Hope this helps.

So this POA, is it always fixed to one purpose like in my case, I am currently looking for selling a apartment. if needed again anything else for future i meed to do it again or is there anything for all purposes, you think ?
Most of the Lawyers are good. They all know what it is that needs to get done. But all of the required details are there at the Indian End. The requirements at Chennai are specific to that location and area also. So, I would advice you to follow a procedure that will fully comply with their EXACT requirements and there will not be any short comings when you follow it to a "T". (As in Chai)

Your specific request here is for a POA for selling an Apartment. (FLAT) In fact it should also permit him to invest the TAXABLE amount of the transaction into a vehicle suitable to your requirement and save yourself a tonne of money after the sale. OR buy another property as an investment within the next Six Months, when the markets for the property settle down to a level you like. OR invest the Taxable amount into a BOND that are made available to you for the normal duration. (I think it is TWO Years now.)
Hope this helps.

You can make a separate POA for other transactions that the Banks will require. The POA made for disposal of the property will be retained by the Registrar of Properties for the purpose it was made for. You might have to retain a copy too at the Chennai end with an accountant for any future call for it, if you are exporting the sale proceeds to overseas. fh
I had the same situation few years back and gave POA to my mom for the sale of a property. The POA was prepared by the lawyer in India and i just signed and notarized it from a lawyer here. All went well and no issues at all.

I had given general POA to my dad few years back... prepared in India and I signed and notarized here from a lawyer (not at Indian consulate)... This week just sold one property in India using POA and everything work out well...
