A.Dear Client,
The validity of General Power of Attorney extinguishes with the death of the principal/executor or the GPA holder. On the Death of the GPA holder that Power of Attorney becomes inoperative and its enforceability gets seized. In the case of a Joint GPA holder, even if one attorney dies, the GPA becomes invalid and requires the execution of a fresh GPA by the remaining principals along with the legal heirs of the deceased principals in favour of other attorneys to execute the deed of transfer/deed of conveyance. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.

A.Dear client, the GPA becomes invalid upon the death of the person who granted the authority to act on their behalf. This means that the GPA holder cannot legally act on behalf of the principal after their death. However, the GPA holder's legal heirs, such as their children or widower, can still transfer the property unless the owner has made a will stating otherwise.

A.Dear Sir,
The title lies with 10 persons as such GPA executed by 8 persons is invalid. Further, 2 persons out of 8 persons also died. Thus, the legal heirs of deceased 2 persons and remaining 8 persons must take steps.
