00:00the signature that became him this video could save your property the day you sign a power of
00:08attorney the person holding it legally becomes you and most people sign without ever stopping
00:17to think about what it really means a man with a property in surat but living in uk gave his
00:23cousin a power of attorney meant only for paperwork and some management matters years later with no
00:32warning the cousin used that same document to sell the family's ancestral land at half its value to a
00:41buyer nobody had ever heard of the document was drafted off a downloaded template never actually
00:47limited what he could do the matter is still in court now a second version of this is even more
00:54frightening because the family did nothing wrong at all a woman was based in canada gave a power of
01:01attorney strictly limited to a small water related dispute years later she also found her land sold
01:11registered on a document bearing her signature altered after she signed it with sale powers
01:18she never granted and one document misused beyond its limits and the other forged outright both ended
01:28in court years later fighting still to undo what should never have happened templates ai drafted documents
01:36are the fastest growing cause of the first problem they read confidently sound complete but they do not
01:44know that you only meant it for management or solving a minor water dispute or any other issue but not
01:54a sale
01:54they cannot ask you the one question that actually matters which is what exactly do you want this person to
02:02be able to do and what should they never be allowed to do under any circumstance so here is how
02:08this
02:09actually needs to be handled the scope must be written narrowly naming exactly what is permitted with
02:16everything else understood as withheld a constant clause should require your written approval direct
02:24from you before any sale transfer or major financial decision happens now the single clause is
02:32is often what stops misuse before it happens because it forces every bank every buyer or even a
02:40registrar to pause and verify then a clean revocation clause should exist from day one so ending the
02:48arrangement is a documented process not an argument and the document must be properly notarized attested
02:57through the correct counselor process and then registered in india never just signed casually and emailed across
03:04his pda against forgery the protection looks different a registered verifiable original on file is your strongest
03:13safeguard because it cannot be quietly altered or substituted without leaving a trail and periodically
03:21especially if you have ever given any power of attorney it's worth having the land records checked directly
03:27to confirm nothing has been filed against your name that you never authorized most families only thing to
03:34check this after something is already gone wrong and by then undoing it means a court case not a five
03:42minute correction now none of this works from a template none of it can be managed by checking it once
03:48a
03:48year or a visit home it needs someone who drafts this exact document for nri situations routinely who
03:55understands exactly how it will be read by a registrar a bank or in a court of india who can
04:01verify with
04:01the land office and that nothing improper has been filed and who watches the ground continuously
04:07long after you're back living your life on the other side of the world a power of attorney is often
04:14the only way an nri can function in india at all yes that's correct but the families who never have
04:21a
04:21problem are not the ones who avoided giving one they are the ones who treated it with precision from the
04:29very first line you are handing someone your legal voice make sure it only says what you meant
