This agreement outlines: • Property details • Buyer and seller details • Sale price and payment terms • Legal obligations of both parties • Timeline for final sale deed execution
Can You Sell Property Using POA in India? • 1.The POA Must Be Registered & Notarized • If executed outside India, it must be attested by the Indian Embassy or Consulate. • 2. The POA Should Clearly Mention Sale Authority • It should specifically authorize the POA holder to execute an agreement to sale and complete the final property sale transaction. • 3. Recent Supreme Court Rulings • The Supreme Court of India has restricted sale of property using POA alone, but it is still valid if supported by a proper sale deed.
Step-by-Step Process for Agreement to Sale Using POA • Step 1: Draft a Legally Valid POA • If prepared outside India, get it attested by the Indian Embassy. • Step 2: Register the POA in India • The POA should be registered at the Sub-Registrar’s Office to be legally valid for a property sale.
