Dear CD's,

I need to get a power of attorney in favour of my brother to handle my property related matters other than buying or selling of property.

Now the format I was given by Advocate in India is on a Rs 50/- Stamp paper. Moreover there are designated spaces for signature of my brother and two witnesses.

Is the format different if attested by Indian Consulate? Does anyone have got it done recently?

Your inputs in this regard is highly appreciable.


Thanks & Regards,
AAA

We sold our House recently. The Format & Wording was specified by our Lawyer in India (and reviewed by the Buyer's Bank Lawyer - since, the Buyer needed a loan from that Bank. This is to make sure that the Bank also accepted the wordings of the Power of Attorney Document. This document is pretty technical and should be carefully written with details/specs of the House).
I got it Notarized first. Thereafter, I went to the Official Document Services and got it endorsed, in Downtown Toronto. Check the website below :

Lastly, I went to the Indian High Commission - Toronto and got it endorsed from there.
This should work for you as well. Hope that helps.

Hi Jaiho,

I appreciate your time in replying to my post.

However I am unable to understand why the document had to be endorsed and authenticated at three different places.

I was of the opinion that it needs to be attested by Indian Consulate only.

It would be great if you could please let me know if it is mandatory to go through all three steps or one step could be avoided.


Thanks,

The document needs to be executed before NOTARY or COMMISSIONER OF OATHS. Indian Consulate can't do this. Hence this is a MUST.

Once the document is executed like said above with stamp from Notary or Commissioner of Oaths, then consulates will attest the document If you are going directly to the consulate ( instead of sending it through some one), many times consulates do not bother for authentication from ODS. It is a MUST if the document is sent through someone else. So you may be able to skip one (ODS) if you are going yourself.... but consulates can always ask ( may be 4 out of 10 times). you can take a good chance.

I am wondering if the subject matter has to be typed in a Rs 50 Stamp paper (I have one from India) or it has to be in the Format of Notary Public in Canada.

Your reply will be highly appreciated.
