Hello, 

 

If the consideration is flowing to you and not to your brother then you can get the same attested from the embassy and send it to your brother.

The SPA executed in a foreign country has to be adjudicated in the place where the power agent resides in India after which he can execute the release deed on behalf of the principal too.

Any transaction in respect of the immovable proeprty shall be valid only if it is done by a registered deed.

It will not be a legally valid document if it is not done by a registered document.

- No registration of SPA is required , as the person who is giving attorney is outside India.

- However, that SPA should be notarized as per rule of that courtly and must be attested from the consulate of India .

Even in relinquish/release deeds, there must be a deed executed by the parties at the Sub-registrar office. In all property transfers,  the consideration aspect of the deed is determined by the value of the property being transferred. The stamp duty & registration fees are calculated on the basis of the value of the property only. In essence, if you want to make some property transaction through power of attorney, you have to pay almost double the amount of money than otherwise, the party is present.

Dear client,

 

It is always safer to register in case a dispute may arise around the land in the future. It would be wise to get the title registered in your mother's name.

 

Thank you.

Yes, the special PoA has to be compulsorily registered at the registry within whose jurisdiction the property is located. Only then will the deed of relinquishment be registered.

It is still compulsory to register the special power of attorney even if the property is not being sold and a relinquishment is being executed as there is transfer of title involved and therefore registration becomes mandatory
