I live in Houston, Texas. I own a villa in Hyderabad, someone is interested in buying it. Can I give the power of attorney to my mother and go ahead with this sale? The buyer is concerned about the validity of the agreement. I won’t be able to be there physically for a long time. What do I do about it?

Yes, you can give a POA to your mother to conclude the sale on your behalf. The POA can be executed by you before the Indian Embassy in USA and the same can then be forwarded to Hyderabad for adjudication and payment of stamp duty and thereupon your mother can utilise the same for concluding the sale. The buyer would get good title if the transaction is concluded by your mother on your behalf as aforesaid and the same is recognised in law.
