Dear Sir/Madam,

Validity period of POA

A POA does not have a fixed validity period unless specifically mentioned.
For property matters, it is advisable to mention validity or purpose clearly to avoid disputes.

Whether notarized POA is sufficient for sale of property

No — Notarized POA alone is NOT sufficient for sale of immovable property.

As per law laid down in
Suraj Lamp & Industries Pvt. Ltd. v. State of Haryana

Property cannot be legally transferred through GPA/SPA alone
A registe

It is very diffcult to say unless both the documents are provided to a lawyer. Anyways wihtout the doc and whatever information you have given in all likelihood there seems that some kind of complications have been created by your seller. If the person who has the GPA comes forward to exercise his ownership right then you may have to go to a civil court to protect your right in the property.

Dear Sir,

The Forest Department may intervene if the land:

Falls within or near a reserved forest or forest boundary.

Is classified as deemed forest under Supreme Court guidelines.

Was encroached forest land regularized earlier.

In these situations, the Revenue Department cannot finalize mutation or podi without Forest Department clearance.

Dear Client,

If your niece only wants to authorize you to handle paperwork, liaison with the development authority, and related administrative work for the flat without giving any power to sell, transfer, or deal with title then a notarised limited Power of Attorney is generally valid and sufficient. Registration of the POA is compulsory only when it gives authority to sell, transfer, mortgage, or execute the sale/registration of the property. Since she plans to come personally for final regis

Dear Client,
Donee's staying abroad can execute a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) in favour of their father to register a gift deed on their behalf in India. While a General Power of Attorney (GPA) grants broad and wide-ranging powers to an appointed person to act on behalf of the principal, a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) offers a more specific and limited approach. This type of POA empowers the attorney to handle specific, clearly defined tasks on behalf of the principal. In India, a Specia

Dear Client,
Section 32(1) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies (MCS) Act, 1960 states that every member of the society is entitled to inspect and get copies of the Act, rules, by-laws, audited balance sheets, and other documents including a copy of registered Development Agreement and Power of Attorney either free of cost or for a prescribed fee. As per Section 32(2) of the Act, a society shall furnish to a member, on request in writing and on payment of such fees as may be prescribed the

Dear Client,
From the contents of the query, it is noted that there are series of transaction/transfer of title of the property from one hand to another and bank loans were sanctioned post verification of the title and encumbrance of the property documents during the last 45 years and no body raised a question about the status or validity of the title of the said property. So, in view of the facts and allied circumstances, the title and encumbrance status of the property seems to be okay. Howev

Dear Client,
Your query lacks information and transparency to address it properly. Your query does not indicate whether the property of your father is ancestral or self-acquired. In case of ancestral property, an individual gets the right to the said property by birth, and in case of self-acquired property, if left intestate, i.e, without any WILL, all the surviving legal heirs are entitled to an equal share in the said property. However, regardless of nature or class of property, until and unl

Dear Client,
In the case of testamentary succession, the first step in transferring a property to a beneficiary as per a Will is to either get the will probated or get letters of administration (LOA) from the Court having jurisdiction over the property left by the deceased owner. Probate of a will is necessary to transfer the deceased's property into the name of the beneficiaries and conclusive proof that the will was executed validly and is the deceased’s last Will. The executor of the will

Dear Client,
A deed of rectification is required to rectify the error or omission in the original deed with the prior permission of the jurisdictional Registrar/Sub-Registrar who registered the original deed. Both parties to the deed of sale(Seller & Buyer) must consent to the revisions requested and attend at the sub-registrar's office for the registration rectification deed under Section 17 of the Indian Registration Act, 1908, and is a perfectly legal way to correct errors or omissions in a
