In today’s world, many people need to authorize someone else to act on their behalf — whether for property matters, financial transactions, or personal representation. This is where the Power of Attorney (POA) becomes essential.

If you’re searching for a Power of Attorney registration lawyer in Islamabad, SJ Law Experts is your trusted legal partner. Our expert lawyers specialize in drafting, attesting, and registering Power of Attorney documents — both for local clients and overseas Pakistanis — ensuring full compliance with Pakistani law.

What Is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows a person (the Principal) to appoint another person (the Attorney) to act on their behalf. This can include handling property transactions, managing bank accounts, or appearing before courts and government departments.

In Pakistan, Power of Attorney is widely used for:

• Property transfers and sales

• Real estate management

• Court representation

• Banking and business operations

• Visa and immigration procedures

• Family or inheritance matters

Types of Power of Attorney

At SJ Law Experts, our lawyers prepare all types of POA based on your legal needs:

1. General Power of Attorney (GPA)

A GPA authorizes the attorney to handle multiple matters on your behalf. It is often used by business owners or property holders to delegate powers like:

• Selling or purchasing property

• Managing bank accounts

• Representing in court cases

• Handling legal or financial affairs

2. Special Power of Attorney (SPA)

A Special Power of Attorney is more specific. It allows the attorney to act only for a particular purpose, such as:

• Selling one specific property

• Submitting documents in a particular case

• Representing someone in a single court hearing

3. Power of Attorney for Overseas Pakistanis

Overseas Pakistanis (living in the UK, UAE, USA, or elsewhere) frequently require POAs to authorize someone in Pakistan to manage property, court, or financial matters.
SJ Law Experts assists in:

• Drafting POA documents according to international legal requirements

• Attestation from the Pakistani Embassy or Consulate abroad

• Registration in Pakistan after verification

Importance of Registering a Power of Attorney

Under Pakistani law, particularly Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908, any Power of Attorney that relates to immovable property (like sale, purchase, or lease) must be registered with the Sub-Registrar Office.

Registration ensures:
✅ Legal validity and enforceability
✅ Protection from fraud or misuse
✅ Acceptance by courts, CDA, and other authorities
✅ Official record in government records

At SJ Law Experts, our Power of Attorney registration lawyers in Islamabad ensure that your document meets all legal formalities — from drafting and attestation to final registration with the relevant authorities.
