The General Power of Attorney deed is an official guidance template that allows a property owner to appoint a trusted agent to manage, sell and register the property described in the deed. No issuing department, government order number or issue date is identified in the supplied text.
Purpose and scope
The General Power of Attorney deed is a template for a property owner who cannot directly manage the property described in the deed. It records the appointment of a trusted person as the owner's general power agent. The owner states that the property was purchased using the owner's income and savings through a registered sale deed and has since been independently held and enjoyed.
Who it affects
The General Power of Attorney deed affects:
- A property owner appointing another person to act on the owner's behalf.
- The appointed agent, who receives broad powers over the described property.
- A buyer dealing with the agent for the whole property or any part of it.
- Government offices, the relevant sub registrar office, advocates and courts dealing with actions taken by the agent.
The property owner is directly bound by all authorised actions taken by the appointed agent concerning the property.
Powers given to the agent
The General Power of Attorney deed authorises the agent to:
- Negotiate the sale of the property as a whole or in separate parts.
- Receive the sale price and any remaining sale amount.
- prepare and execute the sale deed on behalf of the owner.
- Pay property related taxes on behalf of the owner until the sale is completed.
- Sign sale documents prepared by buyers and submit them for registration at the appropriate sub registrar office.
- Sign required forms and records, affix the required mark and complete registration formalities.
- Execute cancellation, rectification, agreement, mortgage, othi, receipt, settlement, release and other documents concerning the property.
- Appoint an advocate, sign vakalat forms, conduct property related cases and settle a case when litigation is no longer required.
- Submit property related applications to Central Government and State Government offices.
