• POA for Registered partition deed

Hello, I have an ancestor properties in Hajipur, Bihar. It is in the name of my grandfather. My father and mother both expired. I have 4 sisters and I am alone brother. I am living in Hyderabad. Two of my sisters lives in USA, one in Delhi and one in Bhopal. We all family members have mutual understanding about ancestor property division and want to do Registered partition deed. As two of my sister lives in USA, they are unable to come to India to sign this deed. They want to give me Power of Attorney to sign this deed on their behalf. They are getting POA attested from Indian consulate in USA. 

Do I need to get this USA made POA to registered in Hyderabad to sign Partition deed? or Registered POA is not required for this purpose and simply Indian consulate attested POA will work? Thanks in advance.

No, if it was registered by US notary than should have require re registration within 4 months. Attested at POA at Indian Consulate is sufficient.

The POA deed executed in the foreign country should be adjudicated in the court within the jurisdiction of the property situate.

As far as any document related to the immovable property is concerned,  it should be done by a registered document only or else it is not legally valid.

Once power of attorney is attested by the Indian Consulate/Embassy, you can send it to India. The attested power of attorney that is sent to India should be 'Registered' in India. Once registered, the process is complete and legal and it is ready to be used.
