Special Power of Attorney (Mukhtar Nama Khas) Format in Urdu

When is a special power of attorney needed?

A special power of attorney gives authority for one named task and nothing else: selling one plot, collecting one payment, appearing in one case, signing one transfer. It is the safer choice when a single thing needs doing.

Where it goes

Where the task is the sale or transfer of land or a building, the power has to be registered with the sub-registrar. For a court case, the attorney files it in the case; it is separate from the vakalatnama that engages the advocate. Signed abroad, it goes through the Pakistani embassy or consulate.

Points to get right

• Describe the single task exactly, with the property number, the case number or the account concerned.
• State that it ends when the task is done, or give an end date.
• The attorney cannot do anything beyond what is written, so include each step the task needs, such as receiving the price or signing before the registrar.
• Check with the office or society first. Many accept only recently made powers, or their own format.

Before you sign

These are general formats to save typing. Requirements differ between offices, courts and provinces, and a paper about property or money has legal effect. Have the final wording checked by a deed writer or lawyer, use stamp paper of the correct value, and get the paper attested or registered where that is required.
