What Are The Red Flags To Watch Out For?

  1. Forged documents: Be wary of any property-related documents that appear suspicious or tampered with.
  2. Unauthorized transactions: Monitor your property transactions closely and report any unauthorized activities immediately.
  3. Impersonation: Verify the identities of all parties involved in property dealings to avoid falling victim to impersonation scams.
  4. Misuse of Power of Attorney: Ensure that your Power of Attorney is used only for the intended purposes and by the appointed representative.
  5. Unclear Ownership: Ensure that the property is clearly registered in your name. Check for any encumbrances or disputes related to the property.
  6. Pressure Tactics: Be wary of high-pressure sales tactics or rushed transactions. Legitimate deals allow time for due diligence.
  7. Lack of Transparency: If the seller or agent is unwilling to provide complete information or documentation, consider it a red flag.

Some Legal Precautions?

  1. Thorough due diligence: Conduct comprehensive background checks on the property, seller, and any intermediaries involved in the transaction.
  2. Proper documentation: Ensure that all property-related documents, such as sale deeds and transfer certificates, are in order and legally valid.
  3. Registered Power of Attorney: If appointing an attorney-in-fact, ensure that the Power of Attorney is properly registered with the relevant authorities.
  4. Regular property visits: Visit your property in India periodically to monitor its condition and prevent unauthorized occupancy.
  5. Employ a trusted caretaker: Consider appointing a reliable caretaker to oversee your property in your absence and provide regular updates.

What Are The Legal Recourses In Case Of Fraud?

  1. If you suspect or become a victim of property fraud. Immediately seek legal counsel from a reputable law firm specializing in NRI property disputes.
  2. Report the fraudulent activity to the relevant authorities. The police and the Ministry of External Affairs can initiate an investigation.
  3. Work with your legal representative to file a civil lawsuit or criminal complaint against the perpetrators of the fraud. This is depending on the nature of the offense.
  4. If you have suffered financial losses due to the fraud. Consult with your lawyer about the possibility of recovering damages through legal proceedings.

In conclusion, safeguarding your property as an NRI requires vigilance, thorough research, and the right legal precautions. By staying alert to potential red flags mentioned above and ensuring all transactions are transparent and well-documented, you can minimise the risk of fraud. Always have a trusted legal advisor by your side for guidance.
