Hello,

  1. No,it is not mandatory to be a party to the agreement when you sign as a GPA holder signing on behalf of the principal that authorised you.
  2. However, if the GPA is registered and provides unfettered authority to the PoA holder he/she can replace the Principal in effect especially in agreements that involve transfer of a title etc.

The GOA Holder acts in delegated authority and hence he in his personal capacity need not be a party to the agreement.

A power of attorney is an instrument that is used by people to confer authority on somebody else to legally act on their behalf. 

s a GPA holder he can sell/sale agreement the property to any one, he will be doing so as a party to the sale/agreement on behalf of his principal.

The GPA holder becomes the party on behalf of his principal for executing the said deed.

as a GPA holder you are representing someone and therefore you have to be the party in the document on behalf of the person for whom you stood attorney. if you dont want to be named in the document then you can ask the person himself to get the document registered.

If you sign an agreement as a GPA holder, you will act for and on behalf of the person who has executed the GPA in your favour and not in your personal capacity.

- If the power to execute a deed is given through GPA, then the presence of that GPA holder is mandatory and need not be a power of the said deed/agreement.

No. if you are signing an agreement as a Power of Attorney you do not have to be a party to that agreement, as the party has appointed to you as a Power of Attorney Holder for himself.
