Selling a property where one of the legal heirs is not there

I have a situation. My mother in law is deceased and she has two daughters(My wife and her sister). So my father in law, my wife and her sister are the legal heirs. There is a property registered in the name of my wife and my mother in law. Now, we are planning to sell the property and my sister in law cannot come over for the registration. Is there a way she can approve of the trasaction?

Ask her to give the power of attorney in favor of some family member to sell the property, then she is not required to come herself. For any other clarification, feel free to write to me at mittaljets@gmail.com. No charges for the consultation.

This is a real good suggestion. I think this will save cost as well as time. One quick question, is it ok if my sister in law gets her power of attorney document registered in Karnataka where she stays and the property is located in tamil nadu?

I agree with experts advise, get a registered POA in Karnataka in favour of either of them (father or sister or any one else-whom so ever your sister in-law has faith).
