Drafting, Registration & Legal Guidance by Advocate Ketan Palshikar Pune
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a vital legal document that authorizes one person (the agent or attorney) to act on behalf of another (the principal) in legal, financial, or property-related matters. Whether you reside in India or abroad, having a properly drafted and legally registered Power of Attorney ensures that your affairs are managed efficiently and lawfully, even in your absence.
At Advocate Ketan Palshikar Pune, we specialize in drafting, vetting, and registering Power of Attorney documents for a wide range of purposes — property transactions, bank dealings, litigation representation, and more. Our objective is to ensure that your Power of Attorney is legally sound, precise, and enforceable under Indian law.
What is a Power of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney is a written authorization through which a person empowers another to perform certain acts on his/her behalf. It may include authority to buy, sell, lease, or manage property, appear before courts or government offices, operate bank accounts, or represent in business transactions.
There are primarily two types of Power of Attorney:
- General Power of Attorney (GPA):
Grants broad powers to the agent to manage multiple affairs on behalf of the principal.
Example: Managing or selling multiple properties, handling financial accounts, or representing before authorities. - Special Power of Attorney (SPA):
Grants authority for a specific act or transaction.
Example: Executing a single property sale, attending court proceedings, or signing one particular document.
Importance of a Properly Drafted Power of Attorney
A well-drafted Power of Attorney protects both the principal and the agent by clearly defining the scope of powers and responsibilities.
It ensures that the agent’s actions are legally valid and prevents potential misuse or disputes.
Key benefits include:
- ✅ Enables trusted representation when the principal is away or unable to act personally.
- ✅ Legally valid document accepted by courts, banks, and government authorities.
- ✅ Useful for NRI property transactions and representation in India.
- ✅ Facilitates smooth execution of sale, lease, or development agreements.
- ✅ Prevents fraudulent misuse through clear limitation of powers.
