Indian parent giving durable power of Attorney to a son - US citizen


04-May-2023 (In Family Law)
My both parents are very old and all their children (two sons and four sisters) are married and well settled, except my elder brother who lost everything due to his lavish lifestyle. He sold every thing of his share of ancestral properties such as village old house, land and his new own house too. Now he is financially abusing my old parents. Myself his (younger brother) is settled in USA for long time. Neither he is keeping my parents nor supporting them financially. Without knowledge of any other siblings, he is taking hight interest loan from money lenders by pledging my parents agriculture land. Recently I came to know about it. I plan spend more time with my parents in India. My parents are willing give me durable power of attorney to me who is at present citizen of USA. Can Indian parent give durable power of Attorney to a son who is US citizen to manage their ancestral property? Please help. Appreciate your suggestions/recommendation.

Dear Sir, When Indian citizen is getting GPA from US citizen then vice versa is also possible. ===================================================================== A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document giving one person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) the power to act for another person (the principal). The agent can have broad legal authority or limited authority to make legal decisions about the principal's property, finances or medical care. The power of attorney is frequently used in the event of a principal's illness or disability, or when the principal can't be present to sign necessary legal documents for financial transactions. A power of attorney can end for a number of reasons, such as when the principal dies, the principal revokes it, a court invalidates it, the principal divorces his/her spouse who happens to be the agent or the agent can no longer carry out the outlined responsibilities.
