03-Apr-2025 (In Property Law)
My House has 13 lega heir including my grandmother my father and brother of my father. my grandmother want to make a registry on her name 12 legal heir are agree to present and sign in registrar office but my father's elder brother is not agreeing to present in registrar office. is it possible that we can do sign for other 12th owners and for 1 is allowed to not present or we can do sign at home for him. How can we make a registry because he is ready to sign but have no time for present in regis
Legal Reply:
In your case, since there are 13 legal heirs and 12 are willing to appear and sign at the Registrar's Office, but one (your father's elder brother) is unable to be physically present due to lack of time, yet is willing to sign—there is a lawful way to proceed.
Under Indian property law and the Registration Act, 1908:
Execution by Power of Attorney (PoA):
If your uncle (father's elder brother) is unable to appear personally, he can execute a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) in favour of any trusted person (including another legal heir or family member) authorizing them to appear before the Sub-Registrar and sign the registry on his behalf.
Execution Requirements for SPA:
The SPA must be signed and notarized by your uncle.
If he is outside the district/state/country, it may need attestation by a Notary Public or Indian Consulate (in case of abroad).
The SPA should clearly mention the purpose, i.e., to execute and sign the sale deed/transfer deed on his behalf for the specific property.
Presentation at Sub-Registrar Office:
The attorney-holder (the person authorized via SPA) will then present the document for registration and sign on behalf of your uncle along with the other 12 heirs.
Important Note:
Oral consent or signing at home without presence or legal authorization is not valid for property registration. Presence or valid Power of Attorney is mandatory.
Conclusion:
Yes, the registry can still be done if your uncle executes a Special Power of Attorney. This is a legally valid solution when a party is willing to sign but cannot appear in person.
