POA Usage Monitoring

Understand the service

What we can help with

POA Usage Monitoring is a paid, time-boxed one-time advisory session with an in-house NOS lawyer to assess the misuse risk on a Power of Attorney you have granted over immovable property in India — most often to a relative or agent while you live abroad — and to plan how to keep an eye on it yourself.

Important: this is not an ongoing watch. NOS does not pull registry records on your behalf, send you automated alerts, or produce recurring reports. What you get is a lawyer's assessment, once, of whether your POA is still valid and what a wrongful sale, mortgage or gift under it would look like — plus clear, practical instructions for requesting an Encumbrance Certificate yourself (or through a local representative) so you can check the registry on your own schedule.

Three tiers, one flat fee each. Simple for a single property with a clear POA status; Standard for multiple properties or an unclear registration status; and Complex when you already suspect misuse or there's an existing dispute. Your intake produces a recommendation — you can move up freely, or down with a warning.

What you get. A written assessment within 48 hours of the session — the POA's validity and standing, what a wrongful dealing under it would look like on an Encumbrance Certificate, exactly how to request one yourself, and your recommended next steps if you ever spot something (revocation, a police complaint, an injunction, or a follow-on consultation) — plus 30 days to ask the same lawyer follow-up questions. If you decide to act, your session fee is credited against that case.

What it isn't. This is a one-time risk assessment and coaching session — it is not automated property surveillance, and it does not replace periodically checking the registry yourself. If your POA is already revoked or expired, there is nothing to monitor and we'll say so and refund you in full, pointing you toward revocation or succession help instead.

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 about the POA & property

   The POA type and registration particulars, the property it covers, the holder, and whether anything has already made you suspicious — a short intake, about two minutes.

2. 02
   Step 2

   We screen the matter

   A conflict-of-interest and scope check runs before anything is booked. A POA that's already revoked or expired has nothing to monitor, and is declined and refunded in full — we'll point you to Revocation Support instead.

3. 03
   Step 3

   Choose your tier & slot

   Your answers produce a complexity score and a recommended tier. Suspected misuse already happening floors you to Complex, so a senior lawyer picks it up. 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. 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 assesses whether your POA is still valid, what a wrongful dealing under it would actually look like, and walks you through requesting an Encumbrance Certificate yourself — by video, voice, or WhatsApp voice if the connection is poor.

6. 06
   Step 6

   Written assessment & follow-up

   Delivered

   Within 48 hours of the session you receive a written memo — the POA's validity, misuse red flags to watch for, how to check the registry yourself, and what to do if you ever spot something — plus 30 days to ask the same lawyer follow-up questions.
