Your Home Address Changed. Your Matter in India Didn't.

Yes. LawCrust coordinates representation for NRIs in the USA, UK, UAE, MENA, Canada, Australia, Singapore, and Europe across property, family, criminal, and succession matters in India, through its empanelled advocates and partner-counsel network. Most procedural work is handled via a registered Power of Attorney, virtual hearings, and local counsel, you are not required to fly back unless your physical presence is legally compelled.

You execute a Special or General Power of Attorney before the Indian Consulate in your country (or before a notary, then apostilled under the Hague Convention). LawCrust drafts the POA, coordinates consular attestation or apostille, registers the POA in India, conducts due diligence on the buyer/seller, completes the deed and registration, and remits sale proceeds via NRO/NRE accounts subject to FEMA limits.

Yes. Mutual-consent divorce can be conducted entirely through a registered Power of Attorney once both parties record statements via video conference, as permitted by recent Supreme Court guidance. Contested divorce hearings are increasingly conducted virtually, though you may need to attend in person for evidence stages depending on the court.

Do not return to India without legal protection. Step one is anticipatory bail, filed before the relevant Sessions Court or High Court so that you cannot be arrested on arrival. Step two is a quashing petition under Section 482 CrPC where the FIR shows abuse of process, supported by the Supreme Court guardrails laid down in Arnesh Kumar v. State of Bihar and subsequent rulings. LawCrust represents NRI husbands across both stages.

Act in the first 72 hours. India is not a signatory to the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, which makes the legal pathway specific: an Indian Family Court habeas corpus, mirror orders in the destination country, and immigration alerts. LawCrust coordinates Indian-side filings, consulate intervention, and partner counsel in the destination country. Read the full guide at lawcrust.in/insights.

Most NRIs use one of two structures: a single will covering Indian-situs assets (immovable property in India), governed by the Indian Succession Act, plus a separate will for foreign-situs assets governed by the local law of residence; or a single international will drafted to comply with both jurisdictions. LawCrust drafts and registers Indian wills, coordinates probate, and works with partner counsel for the foreign limb.
