Rights of legal heirs of the deceased power of attorney holder


09-Oct-2023 (In Property Law)
My father was the registered power of attorney holder for sale of land of the principal 25 years back. Most parts of the land already sold. Subsequently both my father and the principal died. I have found out now that some portion of the land is still available which can be sold. As a legal heir of the deceased power of attorney holder can I take possession of the land for sale which is vacant now?

The power of attorney has no effect after the death of your father. The legal heirs of the principal alone are entitled to take possession. There is nothing called as legal heirs of the power of attorney holder on the contrary the power holder should account to the principal about the already sold land.

power of attorney didn't give any successive right... you cannot take possession of the unsold property.. principal's legal heir is the legitimate one to sell or possess the unsold property.
power of attorney died with ur Father.
