A power of attorney can be obtained by him through the Indian embassy. He must draft a PoA and get it attested by the embassy. After that he should send it to you via post. It must be registered with the registrar.

- As per law, the presence of both the parties are mandatory before the Registrar at the time of registering the Sale deed. 

- Since, one legal heir i.e. your brother has settled in Canada, then he can execute the POA/SPA from there in favour of any relative in India or your mother , if he is unable to come to India. 

- Further the said POA /SPA must be notarized as per rule of Canada , and should be dully stamped /verified from the office of Indian Consulate/Embassy.

- Further , after receiving the said POA , your mother can appear before the Registrar in India for registering the Sale deed in favour of the purchaser on behalf of her said son.

After receiving the duly executed power of attorney deed in a foreign country, the power agent has to produce the same before the concerned registrar for getting it adjudicated.
