Hello Friends,
My father is currently in USA and due to ill-health is not physically fit to travel and in fact, hospitalised. I have a brother in India. We have a property in India that is up for sale and the sale cannot be postponed. Also the original property ownership document is in the bank in a locker, the bank account being in my father's name.
So basically we are trying to get my brother to open the bank locker, get the original document out and pursue the property sale.
My question is - can my father confer Power of Attorney to my brother in India to get him to open the bank locker, and pursue the sale of the property in my dad's absence....or is there any other way ?
And with regards to getting the Power of Attorney done, can it be done in USA where my dad currently is ? does to POA have to be necessarily attested by the Indian embassy here ? After the attestation, does it have to be adjudicated in India ? Can the same POA document empower my brother to operate my dad's bank locker as well as carry out the property sale or does it have to be two separate POA for each.
We have never made a POA before...how do i figure out what to type on the document ?
Appreciate any help. Thanks a ton !!
