• Forged signatures

Hi Team,
I gave GPA to my sister Joan peters to maintain the property in 2004
In 2012 she sold commercial property making fictional documents stating Asha and Kiran are adopted daughter's.
In 2014 Joan peters was proved guilty in Karnataka high court of forged signatures and sentenced for selling liquid assets of Asha and Kiran.
Is the GPA given to Joan peters still valid

If the power of attorney deed has not been cancelled by the principal and if the principal is alive then the power of attorney deed is considered to be active, the4 power agent can perform the tasks assigned through this power deed. 

The involvement of the power agent in some criminal activity which is not related to the property mentioned as schedule of property in the power of attorney deed  then she can still perform the tasks assigned until, the principal is taking steps to cancel/revoke the power of attorney deed granted to the power agent in the year 2004.

It is not clear who filed the case against your sister in the High Court. It is also not clear why you didn't revoke the GPA after knowing that she had misused the GPA and committed frauds. If you have not already done, please do so immediately. Please note that ONLY you as the principal can revoke the GPA and the court finding her guilty shall not automatically revoke it.
