Power of Attorney : Help Needed

[vs193928]

I need a bit of advise . My dad has to buy some property in India under my name . I need to give him power of attorney . Right now both me and my dad are in US . I need to give him power of attorney so that he can buy property under my name when he goes back to India after 2 months . I stay in Chicago . 

 

I went through general steps for power of attorney . 

 

1) Prepare statement/gpa on A4 paper .

2) Notarize.

3) Get the documents Appostile.

4) Have it attested in Indian Embessy .

 

My query is : 

 

1) Do I need to get the GPA  appostiled Also in order for the embassy to attest it ? I mean when we have all the original documents , my dad also physically present , and we are doing a walk-in into embassy for attestation then shouldn't just the notorized GPA should be enough for embessy to attest ??? Please help me .
