Will and succession
Executing or contesting a will is harder when heirs are in different countries or the papers are incomplete.
Non-resident Indians
A Manchester desk for matters that still sit in India
We have an office in the United Kingdom. NRIs can start a property, succession, or family matter there, and the enquiry, verification, and local steps are carried out from Kolkata.
The UK address is 139 Wilbraham Road, Manchester, M14 7DS, through Innerwork Advisors Limited. The India work stays with Innerwork Advisors LLP.

Issues NRIs bring to us
Court and filing delays
Indian proceedings still need local follow-up. Distance and backlog make that difficult to manage alone.
Power of attorney
A power of attorney that is too wide, or used by the wrong person, can move property or money without your consent.
Title and ownership
Poor papers and encroachment make it hard to prove and protect land from abroad.
Inheritance disputes
Partition, unclear title, and disagreements among co-owners can stall a claim you are entitled to.
Property left unattended
A vacant flat or house is difficult to watch from overseas, and neglect often turns into a dispute.
Illegal possession
Unmonitored property is exposed to occupation by tenants, relatives, or third parties.
Selling from abroad
A remote sale needs valuation, buyer checks, and the registrations completed in India.
Real estate scams
NRIs are often approached about projects that are disputed or do not exist.
Agricultural land limits
Some states restrict who can buy agricultural land, including non-resident Indians.
What makes this harder from abroad
Time zones and distance
Hearings and paperwork need coordination that is hard to keep up across countries.
Indian law
FEMA, the Benami Act, and real-estate rules need a local reading before you act.
Documentation
Notarisation, attestation, and filing in India are difficult without someone on the ground.
Local contacts
A relative or agent who does not act for you can cause delay, loss, or fraud.
