Q: Is power of attorney valid after death of the principal ?

Hello ! I (Hindu) want to know that 1) will a registered general​/specific POA still be valid after the death of the principal, where agents are legal heirs of the principal. Or it gets terminated ? Principal : my father Agents : me, my 4 siblings and my mother 2) In the process of Registering a POA, does the court verify the principal's ownership over the property, against which the POA is made ?, what is the validity of power of attorney after death of one of the principal ?

Advocate Mahesh Kumar Joshi answered
It is absolutely clear in law that POA if any granted either registered or unregistered shall come to an end of its operation immediately after the death of the guarantor of POA. As per the present prevailing law of our country the guarantor must remain present at the time of registration of document. By way of POA ownership could not be determined. It can only be determined by way of deed of conveyance, Patta, Bengali Kabala, Parcha, etc.

Q: How to change name in death certificate ?

My father deceased on Dec 2016 and I got the death certificate on January 2017. Later I noticed that I have made a spelling mistake in Death Certificate. Now what is the way to get the name corrected? how to correct name in death certificate ?

Advocate Mahesh Kumar Joshi answered
Your question appears to be incomplete as you have not mentioned the place of death of your father as well the cremation place from where the certificate has granted to you. However if your father died within the limits of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation or in any other municipal limits of west Bengal in that event , you have to submit an application to the deputy Municipal Health Officer with the original certificate issued from their end along with the copy of the death certificate granted from the end of Doctor /Hospital. In case the spell is mismatch from the said certificate than the authority will grant you a fresh certificate upon payment of their usual charges as applicable per norms. In case of outside the Bengal than you have to follow the rules of the relevant state , however the document needed for making the application will remain same which please note.
