• Special power of attorney

My friend and I are NRIs co-investing in a property (villa house) in Bengaluru. We are planning to give special power of attorney (spoa) to our mutual friend to buy the property on behalf of us. Should we (my friend and I) individually execute a SPOA or just have one SPOA executed with our names listed as principals?

A single POA executed by you and your friend, as Principals,  in favour of an another friend, as Attorney, to buy the property in Bangalore would suffice.

If its single villa house then you can go for the joint SPOA.

 

If its individual villa house then you can go for single/individual SPOA.

 Since you are jointly buying the property, you can jointly execute and register the said SPOA.
