Power of Attorney for Overseas Pakistanis
A Power of Attorney is the single document that lets you handle almost any legal matter in Pakistan without flying back — property, court cases, banking, or sale of assets. GNS Law Associates drafts the Special Power of Attorney for overseas Pakistanis, guides its attestation at your nearest Pakistani Consulate, and acts under it on your behalf in Karachi.
One Document, Everything Handled at Home
A Power of Attorney (Mukhtiarnama) authorises a trusted person — usually us, as your advocates — to act for you in Pakistan. A General Power of Attorney grants broad authority; a Special (Limited) Power of Attorney is tied to a specific task, such as one court case, one property sale, or one bank matter. For overseas Pakistanis we almost always recommend a Special PoA — it does exactly what you need and nothing more, which is far safer against misuse.
Because a PoA dealing with property must be executed and attested correctly to be valid, the drafting and the attestation route matter. We prepare the document precisely for your purpose, tell you exactly which consulate to attest it at, and handle the Pakistan-side steps so it holds up.
