1) Yes, you can apply under RTI act, for death certificate of your grand mother and all legal heirs in their local area. Or you may ask him directly all proofs and POA for all your reference.

1. yes, the POA can be given to do all such all activities in public or private offices which the principal could do had the POA not been given.

2. Now on the basis of POA you can very well initiate and complete all such formalities which are necessaries for obtaining the death certificate .

3 to do such acts the registration of the POA is not necessary and its notarization is enough to empower to apply and get his death certificate.

He'll be personally required to obtain the legal heirship certificate, whereas the Death Certificate can be issued to you on his behalf.

1. You can obtain his mother's death certificate from the local Municipal Corporation without any POA.

If you intend to buy the property from the same uncle, it would be better you avoid taking a power of attorney deed in your favor for such things .

The legal hassles may arise on this in future from the other legal heirs

If he individually cannot go for getting the above mentioned documents, then he can authorise you to get those, by showing the proof that you are authorised.
