1) please note that as per DDA scheme Allottees would be handed over conveyance deeds only after they have lived in those houses for five years,
2) if after 5 years the seller refuses to sell the flat to you and revokes the POA you would be in deep trouble .
3) avoid purchase of such a flat
1) any lawyer can draft a POA
2) a notary public is an advocate who is authorized to help the public with legal documents pertaining to property, deeds, power of attorney and business affairs.
3) A notary public is not allowed to give legal advice to anyone, unless he/she is a licensed advocate.
1. Sale through POA has been declared as illegal by the Supreme Court. If the booking has been made by her the POA cannot authorize you to purchase it if there is a lock in period prescribed.
2. The only event in which she may execute a POA in your favour to authorize you to purchase the property is if the booking has not been made by her in her name.
3. The agreement can be made in Jaipur also but it can be registered only in Delhi before the sub-registrar.
1. It has to be registered at the place where the property is situated,
2. It will be a simple POA authorising her to perform certain acts including sale of the said property,
1. Get he POA drafted by a lawyer having experience in this field,
2. Notary public is also a lawyer who can draft the said POA.
Hi, When power of attorney is executed it has to be sale clause and when sale clause is there it has to registered in market value and stamp duty has to paid.
2. It is better you can avoid transaction through Power of Attorney and after completion of 5 years go for sale deed.
3. Suppose if you are entered into agreement of sale then if she is not ready to come and execute sale deed after completion of lock in period then you have to approach court.
The transfer of property through a POA deed is invalid in law, there is a recent supreme court judgement in this regard.
A sale agreement can be made and registered in your favor which has a three years period validity and can be renewed for another three years before the expiry of the present term. This may be the better option so that you dont lose your money and property.
