Stamp Paper

The lawyer can be a witness to a agreement of purchase in his personal capacity not in official capacity.

who gave this idea to you ?

Dear Sir, Normally, advocates will sign as drafting the document but their signature as witness is not very strong. Please mark “LIKE” if satisfied by my answer.

Hi, When you buy or sell property, the transaction is not legally valid without the buyer and seller signing the sale deed in the presence of at least two witnesses. Governed by the Registration Act, 1908, sale deed is the most important document for while selling or purchasing property in India. There is no rule like one witness should be an advocate but he should be a competent person for the purpose of attestation. Thank You
