1. POA on the death of the maker or the POA holder comes to an end.

2. So the POA given to the brother has died now has come to end .

3. Now if the POA gives power to 'either of the survivor' then another brother can execute and register the sale deed.

4. if not then you require the legal heirs of the deceased brother to be added as party to your sale deed.

POA ceases to have any legal force on the demise of the principal. It can though be used qua the surviving brother if the land in question is divided.

A POA executed jointly in favor of the power agent, even if it is a registered document, it stands revoked upon the death of one of the principals who executed the deed.

For all further transactions, the surviving principal has to execute a fresh registered POA deed in favor of the agent so tht all further transactions can be validated accordingly.

can I use the POA for half the land; which is the share of alive brother? How to get balance land?

No. It is not legally valid. The POA deed jontly executed by both and upon the death of one of teh principals, the deed stands revoked or cancelled automatically.

A fresh POA deed may be obtained from the surviving Principal in respect of the entire properties.
