How Power of Attorney Affects Property Transactions

Dear Client, In the given situation as explained by you in your query, it is to inform you that GPA is a document that is executed in favor of an Attorney empowering him to do or act or deed on behalf of the Exececutor on the basis of that document. If the GPA is executed mentioning an act which is done earlier before the execution of the POA then such a document is invalid being defunct and unenforceable in the eyes of the law.

Dear Legal Authority: The Agent (Person A) should have the legal authority to sign and register the rectification deed on behalf of the landowners of survey number 10/2. Since the Agent has received a General Power of Attorney for the unsold plots and approvals from the respective principal owners, it's possible that they may have the authority to make corrections. Rectification Deed: A rectification deed is a legal document used to correct errors in a previously executed property deed. It can be used to amend details such as the survey number. However, it's essential to ensure that all parties involved, including the landowners of survey number 10/2, agree to the rectification. Permission from Principal Owners: Since the power of attorney for survey number 10/2 was canceled due to the principal owner's death, it's crucial to obtain permission from the legal heirs or successors of the deceased principal owner to proceed with any changes related to that property. Government Authorities: It's essential to comply with all local laws and regulations related to property transactions, especially in the case of an unapproved layout. You may need to work with the relevant government authorities and obtain any necessary approvals for the rectification. Documentation: Proper documentation of the rectification process is crucial. This includes preparing and executing the rectification deed in accordance with the law and ensuring it is registered with the appropriate authorities. Regards

Dear Sir. Sale through Power of Attorney is banned by Supreme Court as per following judgment ==================================================================================No property sale on power of attorney: Supreme Court Property sales through the common practice of general power of attorney (GPA) will not give ownership title to the buyer. In a landmark judgment that is expected to send a large number of property owners into a tizzy, the Supreme Court held that the GPA method of immovableproperty sales is not a valid form of transfer of property. A three-judge bench presided over by Justice R. V. Raveendran said that property can be lawfully transferred only through registered sale deeds. "A power of attorney is not an instrument of transfer in regard to any right, title or interest in an immovable property," the bench said, after interpreting various provisions of the law concerning property sales. However, the bench said the judgment will not affect "genuine transactions" under the GPA. The judgment delivered on Wednesday would have an impact on both freehold and leasehold properties and affect the mode of transfer of property in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) where GPA sales are very common. Even though it can cause some hardship to those who have already purchased property through the GPA, the order will help curb evasion of duties, flow of black money into real estate and also save people from being cheated by unscrupulous owners selling the same property to several people. • Flat sold by builder to third party whem my Agreement to sale was valid I had executed a Agreement to sale on one flat at Agra U.P. in (date) with a validity of 15 months ,after 15 months the builder with mutual consent and reason that the the construction work is not over renewed it for another 12 months upto (date),again with the same reason it sought and extension of another 6 months of agreement to sale which was made and agreement to sale was extended upto (date).

Power of attorney authorizes a person to carry out transactions or act legally on behalf of another. Under the new rules, a power of attorney holder seeking to carry out a land transaction will have to provide documentary evidence to the sub-registrar to prove that the principal, the person who issued the power of attorney, is alive. The principal has to obtain a "live" certificate with his photograph affixed to it from a registered medical practitioner or a gazetted officer. These certificates are valid for 30 days. As per a recent order of the inspector general of registration, the new rules are applicable to all POAs registered from February 4. By law, POA is not valid once the principal dies. Section 34 of Tamil Nadu Registration Act says it is the duty of the sub-registrar to ascertain whether the POA holder has the right to execute a transaction on behalf of the principal. But sub-registrars register property documents without bothering to verify whether the principals were alive. "In Tamil Nadu, where a large number of land transactions are carried out on the basis of POAs to circumvent payment of stamp duty and registration fees. Many instances have been reported of POA holders selling land after the death of the principal. Buyers get into trouble when legal heirs of the principal claim rights over the property. Such cases end up in protracted legal battles and ultimately the sale deeds are declared invalid," said a senior official. There have been instances of people impersonating land owners and executing fraudulent POAs. In one case, land worth 9 crore on Venkatnarayana Road was sold to a business group based on a POA, reportedly executed by the land owner in 2008. Legal heirs of the land owner subsequently filed a case of forgery against the business group, brokers and others involved in the deal as the owner had died 28 years earlier. When police refused to take prompt action, the owners moved the court. As per law, the principal also has the right to rescind a POA. "If there is a mention of a consideration (amount) in the POA, the holder can claim that money through legal means. But he cannot claim rights over the property once the POA is rescinded or the principal dies," said the official. In 2010-11, more than 3.75 lakh POAs were registered across Tamil Nadu for property-related transactions. The number came down to 1.8 lakh last year. It is going up again this year, said the official. For full procedure contact me on mobile through Vidhikarya.

Dear Sir, There is no way possible to transfer the current power of attorney which you are holding to someone else. To make your mother power of attorney holder you will have to cancel the earlier power of attorney and execute another PoA where your mother will be the holder/donee.
