GPA from abroad

Dear Mr. M. V. Gupta:
I had posted this querry on Dec 28, 2010-
I live in Delhi and have received a GPA from my mother from abroad. Do I need to take any further steps in India. I have been told by someone that I need to pay stamp duty on this document about which I don't have any idea what it is and how to do it, where to go and who does this?
Can someone please advise me what is the process of Power of Attorney from abroad.

Beisdes other repllies, one Expert
Mr. M V Gupta gave the following reply-
"In continuation of my reply dt.29-12-2010, I would like add that any POA executed outside India should be signed in the presence of the Charge de Affaires of India and attested by him. This is mandatory. Pl check if the GPA received by you from your mother from abraod has been attested by the Charge D Affaires of India."

Now I have this question from Mr. Gupta-
There is no Indian High Commission or Embassy in the place where my mother lives. However, there is a Consulate of India and they do not witness any documents. All they do is put a stamp on the documents which says that the document had been seen by the Consulate, basically meaning that it is authentic. What I have been told is to get it prepared and witnessed by a Notary Public in that city. Please advise me what to do, Thanks!

Registered Will

I had posted this question-
"My father gave me some property through a registered will. Can someone else (brother's widow or his children)challenge that will, if yes, on what grounds can it be challenged".

An expert Mr. S Ganesan has answered and asked me for some clarification-

"A person can will away the property in which his sole right exists or going to exist. In your case whether the property is self acquired property of your father or not is the question. so clarify . whether you father is alive or not?"

Mr Ganesan I wish to tell you that it is a self acquired property by my father and he is no longer alive. The will was done in the Sub-registrar's office with all the proper procedure followed as per the law including photos of my father as well as photos of two independent witnesses taken at the SR office.
