How to eSign a document: e-signature legitimateness for General Power of Attorney in Australia

hi my name is John Pierce I'm a notary public here in Melbourne Australia a document I notarize on a regular basis is a power of attorney intended for use in India this is a document which grants someone else the power to act on your behalf in India often to buy or sell real estate to settle outstanding family matters what a handle Indian Court proceedings if you need a power of attorney notarized or created it's important that you first seek instructions from your solicitor located in India as they will know the intricacies of Indian law and the exact wording that is required if you cannot engage the services of an lawyer in India the second best option is to ask me to prepare one on your behalf but I cannot guarantee it will serve its intended purpose as I'm not a lawyer located in India nevertheless I have many templates to use and these have been effective and have served their intended function for hundreds of past Indian clients if your lawyer back in India has prepared the power of attorney they'll probably email it to you and request that you sign it in front of a notary in Melbourne like myself with true witnesses present who will also need to sign the document sometimes it's requested that the power of attorney be on green stamped paper if this is the requirement then there is no such green stamp paper available in Australia therefore you need to have it sent to you by mail in Melbourne from India by your Indian solicitor after the notarization of this power of attorney you might then need to take the notarized document to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade followed by a visit to the Indian consulate for further stamping you need to check with your Indian lawyer as to the exact requirements not following the correct process may mean that you have to repeat it which of course costs time and money one thing you can do prior to sending the document is to scan it and email it to the receiving body to check if they are happy with the way it is being prepared notarized and duly stamped this process can highlight any potential errors and additional requirements and can reduce the time it takes to meet requirements and avoid wasting money if you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to call my office we'll leave a comment below for further information go to my website
