Death of power of attorney holder


20-Dec-2023 (In Property Law)
One of my relative had purchased a property through power of attorney 30 years back. At that time the registered owner was 65 years old. 2 years back the power of attorney holder (My relative) died. Now the legal heirs of my relative has the will of registered owner which states that registered owner or her legal heirs will not have any right to claim on this property. If Power of attorney holder dies before me than the property goes to legal heirs of power of attorney holder. Now the registered owner who was 65 years old 30 years back is untraceable. What should be done to get the property in the name of legal heir of power of attorney holder.

You can file a succession case before the competent court of law and get the certificate of succession thereby you can also get the property challenged by way of suit of adverse possession. If the registered owner is not traceable you will get the right of prooerty by filing the said suit.
