3. Your sister who cannot come personally to India for partition may execute a Power of Attorney in favour of any of her siblings to represent her before the registrar for the partition of the property. Such POA would have to be got attested at the Indian Consulate in USA.
The sister who may not be available in India for partition registration at that time, she may execute a power of attorney deed in favor of any one of her siblings, which need to be attested by a Notary of that country or by Indian consulate/Embassy, the power agent so appointed can proceed with the execution of partition deed in her absence on her behalf.
