Our team of experienced NRI lawyers in Chandigarh brings decades of practice to complex cross-border legal matters, advising clients across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and beyond with the same depth and accountability as those who walk through our doors.
NRI legal matters rarely fit a single category. A property dispute back home can pull in succession law, Power of Attorney, and encroachment proceedings — often simultaneously.
We advise on:
Property Disputes & Encroachment Unauthorized occupation, illegal construction on inherited land, fraudulent transfers — handled remotely, with local representation where needed.
NRI Divorce & Maintenance Whether the marriage broke down in India or abroad, jurisdiction matters. We advise on the correct legal forum, maintenance claims, and custody where applicable.
Power of Attorney Registration For NRIs executing a POA from outside India — the document must be notarized in your country of residence, attested by the Indian Embassy or Consulate, and then adjudicated in India before it holds legal weight. We guide you through each step and coordinate the process on the ground.
OCI Card Issues Delays, rejections, renunciation-related complications — we handle correspondence and legal intervention where required.
Inheritance & Succession Disputes Contested wills, disputed ancestral property, claims by multiple legal heirs. These take time. We tell you that upfront.
Foreign Divorce Decree Recognition in India A divorce granted abroad is not automatically valid in India. Recognition requires a separate legal process. We assess whether your decree qualifies and file accordingly.
All consultations are conducted over phone or video call. You do not need to travel.
