What are the legal consequences if I signed on behalf of my brother on his expired POA 20 years ago? No money was involved, no transactions were done

Knowing well that the power of attorney is expired then too acting as a power of attorney holder is criminal offences. Complaint can be filed against you for criminal breach of trust, cheating and under various provisions of law depending upon the case. Advisable not to act as a power of attorney holder when the power has expired long back.
