Property Lawyer for Overseas Pakistanis — Protect What's Yours From Anywhere

Overseas Pakistanis are the most targeted victims of property fraud in Pakistan — illegal occupation, fake power-of-attorney transfers, and inheritance grabbing while the owner is abroad. IMAAR's property lawyers recover, defend and transfer property for clients worldwide through embassy-attested Special Power of Attorney: possession suits, cancellation of fraudulent transfers with urgent injunctions, succession and mutation of inheritance, and verified purchases — with WhatsApp updates after every hearing.

Situations We Handle Every Month

The Golden Rules for Overseas Owners

1. Never give a general POA — limited, purpose-specific powers only. 2. Keep original title documents with you, abroad. 3. Check your fard/record periodically — we run record checks for clients. 4. At the first sign of trouble, seek an injunction before the property is sold onward. 5. Never pay for property against photos — verify title first.

How It Works From Abroad

  1. Remote consultation. WhatsApp/video; send whatever documents you have — even partial records let us pull the rest.
  2. Record verification. We obtain the current fard, mutation history and registered instruments to see exactly what has been done to your property.
  3. Case-specific SPA. Drafted by us, attested at your Pakistani Embassy/Consulate, couriered and locally attested.
  4. Urgent protection. Injunctions restraining transfer/construction filed first where fraud or occupation is running.
  5. The main case. Possession, cancellation, succession or transfer — conducted to decree and execution, with updates after every hearing.

Frequently Asked Questions

My property is illegally occupied — what can I do from abroad?
Possession/ejectment proceedings under an attested SPA, with injunctions preventing further transfer or construction, plus criminal dimensions where applicable — all without travelling.
A relative transferred my property with a fake POA. Reversible?
Yes — declaration and cancellation suits with forgery challenges regularly succeed. Act fast, before onward sale to claimed bona fide purchasers; the first filing is the injunction.
How do I buy safely from abroad?
Due-diligence report before payment (title chain, fard, encumbrances, litigation, approvals), a properly drafted agreement, and lawyer-supervised registration.
How do overseas heirs claim inheritance?
Succession (NADRA route uncontested / court route contested) then mutation of inheritance. Court matters run on an attested POA — see our succession page.
Should I give my brother a general POA to manage things?
Prefer not — general POAs are the most common fraud instrument. Limited, purpose-specific powers, originals kept with you, and periodic record checks. Existing doubtful POA? Revoke and publicize immediately.
