What is Power of Attorney?

A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that gives someone else the authority to act on your behalf in financial or legal matters. The person giving the authority is called the principal, and the person who receives the authority is called the attorney-in-fact or agent. The power of attorney document outlines the specific powers that the attorney-in-fact has and the conditions under which they can act. The POA can be a general power of attorney, which gives the agent broad powers, or a limited power of attorney, which gives the agent only specific powers for a limited time period. The POA can be granted to anyone the Principal trusts, such as a spouse, family member, friend, or professional such as a lawyer. However, the Agent must be competent and able to act in the Principal's best interests.

Frequently Asked Question

What are some of the common uses of POA?

POAs can be executed for a variety of purposes, here are examples of some of the most common purposes it is executed:-

  • When an NRI purchases or has a property in India, but is unable to visit India on a frequent basis, he executes a POA in favor of someone else to deal with such property.
  • When an elder member of the family becomes incapacitated due to old age ailments, he/she executes General Power of Attorney (GPA) in favor of their children or other close family members to deal with their assets.
  • In case of companies, which are facing litigation in different parts of the country, it executes Special Power of Attorney (SPA) in favor of its employees working in such cities where it faces litigation.

Difference between General Power of Attorney and Special Power of Attorney?

  • A general power of attorney (GPA) gives broad authorizations to the agent. The agent may be able to make all of the medical decisions, legal choices, or financial or business decisions.
  • However, a special power of attorney narrows what choices the agent can make. For example, SPA executed for filing court cases.
  • The main difference between the two, is that in GPA, broad powers are given to the holder, however, in SPA, specific and narrow powers are granted.

How to make Power of Attorney legally enforceable?

  • Drafting:- Draft a POA by stating the necessary particulars and authorizations.
  • Sign:- The POA must be signed by the principal.
  • Stamping:- The POA must be stamped according to the relevant stamp duty act.

Is it mandatory to stamp POA?

Yes.

Under section 48 of schedule 1 of the ‘Indian Stamp Act 1899’, the power of attorney is chargeable. And it is mandatory to pay stamp duty by the principal/grantor in the jurisdictional registrar’s office.

Stamp duty charges vary from one state to another.

Can I sell my immovable property through GPA?

Buying a property through General Power of Attorney is a commonly followed route of transacting in Indian real estate. However, as per an order issued by the Supreme Court of India in 2011, transferring a property through GPA is invalid.

Can PoA be cancelled or revoked?

Yes, it can be revoked by the “Revocation of Power of Attorney”

After executing POA, does my rights cease to exist?

No. You can manage your own rights even after you appoint a POA holder. This arrangement does not transfer powers unilaterally to the agent. It only shares such powers.

What will happen if my POA holder dies?

All powers granted to the Attorney are naturally revoked by law. The POA holder will not be able to act on behalf of the grantor. Additionally, if there was a will in place, it will come into effect.

What will happen if my POA grantor dies?
