A Power of Attorney grants another person power to do something on their behalf.  This is executed as a Deed.  A single person or a number of people can give power and appoint just one or a number of attorneys.  A Power of Attorney can give power to a person for e.g buying or selling an apartment or House in India.  Powers of Attorney executed in England and Wales are regulated by the Power of Attorney Act 1971.  It is very important that any Power of Attorney that is granted is prepared and executed in accordance with the clear instructions of the person or persons granting power.  We have substantial expertise in drafting and notarising Powers of Attorney for use in India.  Here in the United Kingdom, we serve the Indian Community at a national and local level.

  • Are you an Indian National, an NRI (Non Resident Indian) living outside India?  

​

  • Are you of Indian origin and currently living outside of India?

​

  • Do you have either land, property, money, bank accounts and/or other assets in India you need to deal with?

 

If so, we can help and assist you.  You can set restrictions as to how much power your attorney is given, so that at all times you have the peace of mind  that your appointed attorney is acting on your behalf within your actual wishes and intentions.

​

We can also notarise a Power of Attorney already made, however, we must make sure sure that the document is fit for purpose and notarisation.  In our experience, we find that common amendments are making sure details such as names, addresses, descriptions, layout, grammar and formatting are correct.  To save time, you can also email us your already prepared Power of attorney at info@singhtuttnotarypublic.com.  You can email us your document in word, pdf, jpeg or other formats.  Click here for full contact details.

Our list of types of Power of Attorney which include all of the following is not exhaustive.  Please note that we can draft and notarise a Power of Attorney specific to a single specific purpose or a combination of matters.  We have listed below the most common types for your ready information.
