Property Recovery for Overseas Pakistanis
Illegal occupation, fake transfers, inheritance disputes and problem tenants, handled in Pakistani courts while you stay in the UK, USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia or Europe. You sign one power of attorney; we do the rest.
Property problems we handle
Overseas owners are frequent targets because they are not there to notice. These are the cases we see most often and the legal routes we use.
Illegal occupation
A relative, tenant or stranger has taken possession of your house or land.
Our route: Illegal Dispossession Act complaint, or civil suit for possession.
Fake transfer or forged documents
Your property was transferred using a forged sale deed or fake power of attorney.
Our route: Suit for cancellation and declaration, stay order, and forgery complaint.
Inheritance dispute
One heir controls family property and will not share it.
Our route: Inheritance mutation and partition suit.
Problem tenant
Your tenant has stopped paying rent or will not vacate.
Our route: Eviction petition before the Rent Tribunal or Rent Controller.
Builder or society fraud
A plot or flat was not delivered, or was sold twice.
Our route: Civil suit, complaint to the authority, and fraud complaint.
Encroachment
A neighbour has built on part of your plot or blocked your access.
Our route: Demarcation, civil suit and injunction.

Property recovery FAQs
Can I get my property back without coming to Pakistan?
Yes. You sign a special power of attorney at the Pakistani embassy or consulate, and your advocate files and runs the case for you. You usually only need to appear if the court specifically asks for you.
A relative is living in my house and refuses to leave. What can I do?
Depending on how the relative came into the property, you can file a complaint under the Illegal Dispossession Act, 2005 in the Sessions Court, or a civil suit for possession. We advise which route fits your facts after reviewing your documents.
Someone transferred my property with a fake power of attorney. Can it be reversed?
Yes, a transfer based on a forged document can be challenged. We file a civil suit to cancel the document and declare your ownership, ask the court to stop any further sale, and file a criminal complaint for forgery.
Can the court stop the property from being sold while the case runs?
In suitable cases the court can grant a temporary injunction to stop further sale or construction while the case is decided. We apply for it when the facts support it.
How long does a property case take?
It depends on the type of case, the court and whether the other side contests. We give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your documents, and update you after every hearing.
What documents do I need?
Your sale deed or registry, fard or mutation, allotment or transfer letter for society property, your CNIC or NICOP, and any proof of possession such as utility bills, photos or tenancy agreements.
