Frequently Asked Questions

Do NRI clients need to travel to Mumbai to resolve a case?

In most civil, property, and RERA disputes, physical presence is not required. By executing a legally valid Power of Attorney (POA) in favor of a family member or trusted counsel, the matter can be fully argued by our legal team in Mumbai.

How do I execute a valid Power of Attorney from abroad?

You must sign the POA document and get it attested by the Indian Embassy/Consulate in your country of residence, or get it apostilled. Once sent to India, it must be adjudicated (stamp duty paid) at the local registration office in Mumbai within 3 months.

How are partition and inheritance disputes handled for NRIs?

If property inheritance is disputed, we file a Partition Suit in the appropriate civil court to define shares, or apply for a Succession Certificate / Probate before the Bombay High Court to authorize administration of assets.
