Expert Indian Law Advice, Delivered From the UK
Whytecroft Ford provides Indian law advice to NRIs, OCI cardholders, British citizens, and foreign nationals who need to deal with property, inheritance, or legal matters in India from the UK. Our advice sessions are led by Senior Indian Advocates with direct experience in Indian courts and property law, giving you legally sound guidance you can act on without travelling to India.
Most of our clients share a common problem: they own property in India, have inherited land or a flat, or need to manage legal affairs back home, but they live in the UK and cannot find a professional here. That is the gap we fill.
We start with a free 15-minute consultation to understand your situation and explain how we can help. This is an informal conversation, not formal advice, but it gives you a clear sense of your options before you commit to anything.
When you are ready, our Detailed Indian Law Advice Session gives you the full picture: your legal position, required documentation, risks, and a step-by-step plan to move forward.
What We Advise On
Our Indian law advice sessions cover the full range of property and legal situations faced by NRIs, OCIs, and British citizens with ties to India.
Selling Property in India From the UK
The sale process, required documentation, capital gains tax obligations, and repatriation of sale proceeds under FEMA regulations. Where you cannot travel, we prepare the Power of Attorney to authorise a representative.
Inheriting Property in India
Indian succession law, differences between the Hindu Succession Act and Indian Succession Act, obtaining succession certificates and legal heir certificates, and transferring inherited property through mutation of land records.
Transferring or Gifting Property
Gift deeds, relinquishment deeds, and family settlement agreements for NRIs, OCI holders, and foreign citizens transferring Indian property to relatives or other parties.
Managing Property in India From Abroad
Tenant disputes, property encroachment, property tax compliance, and maintenance of ancestral or jointly held property when you cannot be present in India.
Partition of Joint or Ancestral Property
Co-owner and family member rights under Indian property law, partition suits, division of jointly owned land or flats, and resolving disputes between siblings or extended family.
Title Verification and Due Diligence
Review of property documents, encumbrance certificates, and land records to confirm clear title before you commit to a purchase or sale.
Property Disputes and Litigation Support
Advice where property is subject to competing claims, illegal occupation, boundary disputes, or contested wills. We coordinate with Indian advocates to protect your interests.
OCI and Foreign Citizen Property Rights
What NRIs, OCI cardholders, and foreign nationals can and cannot legally own in India, including restrictions on agricultural land, plantation property, and farmhouse purchases.
Power of Attorney and PAN Card Services

Why Clients Choose Our Indian Law Service
You Speak to a Senior Indian Advocate
Every session is delivered by an advocate with direct courtroom and transactional experience in India. You get answers grounded in how Indian property law works in practice.
Your Advice Is Specific to Your Situation
Each session is built around your documents, your property, and your legal position. You leave with a clear understanding of where you stand and what to do next.
You Get a Plan, Not Just Information
Every session ends with your legal position summarised, the documents you need listed, the steps to take outlined, and any risks flagged.
Follow-Up Support Is Available
Questions often arise after the session. Clarification is part of the service, you are not left working through next steps alone.
Cross Border Expertise
You do not need to find a seperate adviser in the UK. We will guide you on what you will need in the UK to prepare for your situation in India.
Remote Service, Professional Standard
Consultations are delivered by telephone, Zoom, or WhatsApp. The same rigour as an in-person meeting, without the commute or the flight.
What the Advice Session Covers
During a Detailed Indian Law Advice Session, your Senior Indian Advocate will review your documents and circumstances, assess your rights and obligations under the relevant Indian law, and provide tailored guidance on your specific property, inheritance, succession, or family matter.
You will receive clear explanations of required procedures and legal formalities, an honest assessment of risks, potential delays, and any disputes that could affect your matter, and a strategy and action plan setting out your recommended next steps. The session typically lasts up to 60 minutes.
This service is built for people managing Indian legal matters from the UK. If you are an NRI selling a family property in India, a British citizen who has inherited land, or an OCI cardholder dealing with a title dispute, the advice is shaped around the practical realities of handling these matters from abroad.
