Release Deed or Relinquishment Deed is a legal document through which a person surrenders ownership of a property in favor of another person who is a co-owner of a property.
We cannot send release or Relinquishment deed from abroad because a deed must register in sub-registrar office in India. As an alternative, we can grant a power of attorney to co-owner to register deed on your behalf in India.
