Yes, you will need to provide a Power of Attorney (POA) document authorizing your sister to act on your behalf for selling the property. This document needs to be legally executed and attested by an Indian consulate in the US.

My grandfather, a Jain, wrote down how to divide our family property on a ₹500 stamp paper, which was also notarized.

I bought a shop from someone who got it from the builder. However, the blueprint shows it as stilt parking, and I only found out later. The society has received its occupancy certificate (OC), and I even paid stamp duty and registered the shop in 2005. The previous owner took a loan from ICICI Bank, and I have the documents. But I’m not a society member, and the builder has passed away, leaving his son in charge. What should I do now?

My father and his brother inherited a house in Thane from our grandfather, built around 25 years ago. We lived there for a few years before moving out due to family disagreements in 1993. Now, as the only son of my father, and with my cousin being the only son of my uncle, we want to know if we can claim a share of the house. We don’t have any property papers, but I have documents like my ration card, driving license, and passport showing that address. Can we legally claim our share of this property, and how do we go about resolving this issue? I’ve been living on rent for over two decades now, and I’m eager to find a solution.
