Hi,

My wife is an indian national. She wants to send a general power of attorney to my father (for leasing a property).

1. Does my father need to send the general power of attorney (original) from india, or can i also get the template, type it on a paper? 

2. Does anybody has such a template?

3. Does the Power of attorney need to be notarised only at the indian consulate? or can it also be done at a local notary? (I get differing views here in the internet). I would prefer getting it notarised by a local notary as i wouldnot have to travel from nuernberg to munich (nearest consulate). Has anybody done this (Power of attorney from a local notary) successully and has it been accepted in India?

Thanks for the answers in advance.

Hallo Anurag,

I am not an expert to give an advise though. I vl just give my input for your information.

I had to apply for electrical meter, water connection in india. For that I hv just written a paper saying that

in my absence he can apply for all the reqd connections. I just written it on paper, signed and sent it as a scan copy.

For leasing a property, i think you may make a power of attorney via a lawyer in india and follow the instructions from him. I think that would be fine but pl. collect necessary information and do the best.

Thanks for the responses guys.

@cebit:
Thanks for the template. Looks quite good indeed. Did i understand correctly. You have just signed the template and sent to india (without getting it notarised here). Your father had it printed on a stamp paper and the notary signed it?

I was planning to print your template, get it notarised here with a local notary in nuremberg and then send it to india, where my father can get it printed on a stamp paper and do the further things. I am hoping that this works out for leasing the property. (without having to go to the consulate in munich and getting the POA notarised by them)

Thank you
