Overview

Correct Documents for Offices, Banks and Property

Affidavits are sworn written statements required by many government offices, educational institutions, banks and courts. A power of attorney (POA) authorises another person to act on your behalf, for example to manage property, deal with a bank or represent you before an office while you are away.

Because these documents can carry serious consequences, they must be worded carefully. We draft affidavits and powers of attorney suited to their purpose, explain the scope of authority you are granting and guide you on stamp paper, attestation and, where property is involved, registration.

Good to Know

Important Precautions

Limit the authority to what is needed

A general power of attorney can give very wide powers. Where possible, use a special power of attorney limited to the specific task.

Property POAs may need registration

Powers of attorney involving immovable property often need to be registered with the sub-registrar. We tell you what applies in your case.

Executing a POA from abroad

Overseas Pakistanis usually execute POAs before the Pakistan embassy or consulate, or through the process accepted by the relevant office in Pakistan. We prepare the draft in the required format.
