What is the status of an irrevocable power of attorney given by the principal for a property which does not belong to him?
A.Dear Client,
When the property does not belong to principal/executor who executed a POA, either revokable or irrevokable shall be treated as void ab initio on challenge/contest before the Court of Law.

A.Dear
n irrevocable power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants someone else the authority to act on your behalf in specified matters, and it is typically used for financial or property-related transactions. The "irrevocable" nature of such a POA means that, once granted, the authority given to the agent cannot be easily revoked or canceled by the principal (the person who granted the POA) without the agent's consent or a court order.
However, the validity and enforceability of an irrevocable power of attorney depend on various factors, including the laws of the specific jurisdiction and the circumstances of the POA. It is essential to note that an irrevocable power of attorney does not grant authority over property that does not belong to the principal. In other words, if the principal does not own the property in question, the POA may not have any legal effect concerning that property.
Ownership: A POA typically grants authority over property owned or controlled by the principal. If the property in question does not belong to the principal, the POA may not apply to it.
Fraud or Misuse: If an irrevocable power of attorney is being used fraudulently or inappropriately, the affected parties may challenge its validity in court.
