Straight answers, before you commit.

Yes. Indian courts have jurisdiction where the marriage was solemnised in India or where the parties last resided together here. We can act for you under a power of attorney and seek exemption from personal appearance where the court permits it.

Not automatically. A foreign decree is recognised in India only in limited circumstances. We review the decree and advise whether it will hold, or whether parallel proceedings in India are needed.

Usually six to eighteen months, depending on the court and whether the statutory cooling-off period is waived. Contested matters take longer.

We can file for an injunction to stop any further dealing with the property, followed by a suit for possession or partition. Acting early materially improves the outcome.

Yes. We carry out a full title search, examine the chain of documents, check encumbrances and litigation, and give you a written opinion before you pay anything.

It depends on where the assets are and which succession law applies. In some jurisdictions in India probate is mandatory; elsewhere a succession certificate or legal heir certificate is sufficient. We tell you which route applies to your case.

Yes, subject to RBI limits and tax clearances. We coordinate the documentation banks require for repatriation.

Often, yes. Mediated outcomes are faster, cheaper and far less damaging to family relationships. We will tell you candidly when a matter is better litigated.

This is urgent. A habeas corpus or guardianship petition can be filed quickly. India is not a signatory to the Hague Abduction Convention, so the Indian courts decide on the child's welfare. Contact us immediately.

It varies widely by forum and complexity. Summary proceedings such as cheque bounce cases move faster than title suits. We give you a realistic range for your matter and revisit it as the case progresses.

Do not travel before taking advice. We can apply for anticipatory or transit bail and, where the complaint is baseless, move to have it quashed. Acting before you land is far safer than acting afterwards.

Yes, in most cases, with supporting evidence of the ceremony and witnesses. We advise on what your registrar will accept.

Either before the Indian consulate in your country, or before a local notary followed by apostille if your country is a Hague Convention member. It must then be stamped and, for property matters, registered in India within the prescribed period.

Yes, through CARA, and in certain cases through a relative adoption route. Requirements differ depending on your citizenship and the child's status; we advise on the correct route before you begin.

Yes. You can file through an authorised representative or advocate holding a power of attorney, without needing to attend in person.

Yes. NRIs may sell residential and commercial property, subject to TDS on the sale consideration and RBI rules on repatriating the proceeds. We handle the sale, the tax clearances and the remittance documentation.
