Absolutely B do not hold any right to sell the remaining properties of P after the death of P. Because General Power of Attorney is valid until the person who executed the same is alive and unless he revokes his GPA. So soon after the death of P all the legal heirs including wife of P along with A, B, C & D will become the joint owner of the remaining properties of P.
