There is a limitation to execute sale deed unless the agreement mentions in contrary. GPA holder cannot transfer the property on will as the transfer is made between the owner of the property and the purchaser. Who does it have the title of the property that person cannot transfer the property by any means.
GPA is just the power of attorney and not the transfer of ownership rights.

The GPA must be stamped and registered before the holder of the GPA can execute the deed. The registered owner is the only person who can sign a GPA that empowers the holder to execute any type of transfer or deed.
