The Supreme Court has held that transfer of property can not be effected through GPA.
1) sell property only through registered sale deed . SC has held that in order to confer legal title on purchaser regd sale deed is necessary
2) let property be transferred in name of purchaser only
3) if property remains in your name you would be liable for acts of your agent .
4) if agent misappropriates funds received from purchaser you would be in deep trouble .
5) both civil and criminal liability would be fastened upon you
6) inspite of our advice if you want to proceed contact a local lawyer .
7) we dont provide formats . draft of agreement depends upon facts and circumstances of each case .
8) for registration charges only local lawyer can guide you
