Rated Excellent by Our Clients
Highly recommend Whytecroft Ford. We opted for the POA pack, and the entire process was seamless, efficient, and well-organised from start to finish. The guidance booklet provided was extremely helpful and clearly explained every step required after receiving the POA, which made the experience stress-free.
I would definitely recommend this company. They made the process of drafting the Indian POA a smooth experience and their guidance document was very helpful. They responded to my questions very quickly and were polite and professional. Many thanks to the team for your help in this matter.
I was looking for an organisation to help me with a POA which I needed. The website was straightforward and easy to use. I filled out an information request form and was contacted by them. They gave me the information I needed and I proceeded. Great service and would recommend to friends and family. Thank you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sign a Power of Attorney in the UK for use in India?
Yes. A UK-based individual can execute a Power of Attorney in the UK for use in India. The POA must be notarised by a UK Notary Public, apostilled by the UK FCDO, and where required attested by the Indian High Commission in London. Requirements vary depending on the state in India and the type of transaction.
How much does a Power of Attorney for India cost?
Our Indian POA service is a fixed fee of £275, covering advice on POA type, drafting, and the legalisation guidance booklet. Third-party fees for notarisation, FCDO apostille, and Indian High Commission attestation are additional and payable directly to those providers.
How long does it take?
We typically prepare your POA document within 3 to 4 working days of receiving your details. The overall timeline depends on the legalisation steps: UK notarisation, FCDO apostille, and Indian High Commission attestation where required.
General or Special Power of Attorney, which do I need?
A Special Power of Attorney is limited to a specific task, such as selling a named property, and is typically recommended for property transactions. A General POA grants broader authority across multiple matters. We advise on the correct type for your situation.
Why use a specialist instead of a template?
A POA for use in India is governed by Indian law, not English law. Generic templates are typically not drafted to Indian legal requirements and may be rejected by the Sub-Registrar or relevant authorities. A specialist-drafted POA is structured for your specific transaction and prepared for the full UK-to-India legalisation process.
