Dear Sirs
I live in UK. We have ancestral property (land) in india through my great great grandfathers and is nearing its selling stage. First of all I am the only legal heir to my father (only son) and my father is living back home. I have no objection to my father selling the ancestral property. But I cannot travel to India since my passport is currently under process. My question is shall I just send a simple NOC that is drafted by me with my picture in a white paper without stamped?? But lawyers back home are insisting me to send general power of attorney as a legal heir duly in front of notary or even in Indian embassy.
As my situation is complex since I don't have my passport to do so for this GPA. Even if it is yes.. the new law states that I need to produce a life certificate that is most unlikely to get it certified since the law in UK does not support to do so for a medical practitioner to give this sort of certificate.
Please help me everyone.. is there anything that can be done to make this happen.
Thanks

GPA notarized and apostle, that you can get through any notary public in UK.
Send that along with whatever identity document you got with you, like citizenship certificate if you have got your British citizenship, driving licence, the copies of these too can be notarized. For sale of property in India these documents will be good enough.
The passport will be arriving soon and copy of the same can be sent as soon you get it.

First of all an anonymous person does not deserve any help. There is nothing secret in your query that could have compelled you to hide yourself and to post your query anonymously.
Secondly, you have not made clear what exact kind of help you are desirous of getting from the experts.
Thirdly, it is not clear, what are the compelling grounds for you that makes you not to visit India for completion of formalities in India?
Fourthly, there are plenty of lawyers in UK, who can help you with specific reference to the UK laws.
Fifthly, if a problem is really persisting, even Indian High Commission in UK would have readily guided you appropriately.
Sixth, as a doctor, if you can charge hefty fee even from the have nots, what compelled you to take free advice is quite surprising.
Seventh, it is not understood, how you have been allowed to continue living in UK after the expiry of your passport?
All these aspects very clearly suggest that yours is merely a hypothetical problem, not a real one.

Prima facie it is a timepass topic for debate.
