POA Drafting

Understand the service

What we can help with

POA Drafting is a paid, time-boxed session with an in-house NOS lawyer to plan a legally valid Indian Power of Attorney under the Powers of Attorney Act 1882 — whether you need to authorise someone to manage property, operate a bank account, represent you in litigation, or act across several matters while you can't be present yourself. You describe the problem, choose a tier, pick a slot in your own timezone and pay a flat fee. Nothing is billed by the hour, and no lawyer time is committed until payment is captured.

Three tiers, one flat fee. Simple for a Special POA covering one power, with everyone in India; Standard for a General POA or several powers together; and Complex for a POA that empowers sale or transfer of property, involves more than one attorney, or is cross-border. Your intake produces a recommendation — you can move up freely, or down with a warning.

What you get. A structured advice memo within 48 hours of the session — the issue, the facts relied on, the recommended drafting approach, your options and the recommended next step, including pointers on stamping, witnessing and registration — plus a follow-up window to ask the same lawyer clarifying questions in the same thread. If your matter needs further work — drafting the final instrument, or registration — your session fee is credited against that case.

What it isn't. This session is advice and drafting guidance, not a substitute for reviewing or registering a POA you already hold — those are handled separately. A Power of Attorney also cannot itself transfer ownership of property; where that's the goal, the memo will say so plainly. If the opposite party is already a NOS client, or your request is really about an existing POA, we decline and refund in full rather than advise you badly.

How it works on the ground

The government process is scattered across portals, offices and paperwork. NOS turns it into one guided flow.

What we handle

How it works

1. 01
   Step 1

   Tell us what you need

   Describe the Power of Attorney you want to grant — General or Special, the powers involved, your attorney, and whether property is covered — in a short intake. Documents are optional; a session can go ahead with nothing uploaded.

2. 02
   Step 2

   We screen the matter

   Before anything is booked we run a capacity, conflict-of-interest and scope check. If the request is really about reviewing or registering a POA you already have, or the other side is already a NOS client, we decline and refund in full rather than advise you badly.

3. 03
   Step 3

   Choose your tier & slot

   Your answers produce a complexity score and a recommended tier — Simple, Standard or Complex. A property-transfer power or a cross-border matter floors you to Complex. Then pick a slot in your own timezone with a lawyer who speaks your language.

4. 04
   Step 4

   Pay — and your lawyer is assigned

   Sessions are pay-first at a flat fee for the tier: no hourly billing, no per-stage quotes. The slot is held and one lawyer becomes the owner of your matter only once payment is captured.

5. 05
   Step 5

   Your session

   The lawyer walks through the powers you want to grant, who should hold them, and how the instrument should be scoped, by video, voice, or WhatsApp voice if the connection is poor.

   Step 6

   Advice memo & follow-up

   Delivered

   Within 48 hours you receive a structured memo — the issue, the facts relied on, the recommended drafting approach, your options and next steps (including stamping, witnessing and registration pointers) — plus a follow-up window to ask the same lawyer clarifying questions.
