once the will has been executed in your name , there is no requirement for execution of deed of power of attorney.

if the will is not yet executed then your uncle can execute an power of attorney until the will is executed.

A will comes into effect after the death of the testator and is to be carried out as per instructions given while he/she is living. But a POA is a document in which the principal appoints an agent to represent him/ her in respect of some property. So, both cannot be done in a single instrument.

You can be appointed as the attorney holder for your uncle during his lifetime to take care of the day to day activities for the property. The POA becomes null and void on his death. Therefore your uncle would need to execute a WILL bequeathing the property to you after his death. Both documents have to be executed separately. First your uncle can execute the GPA in your favour. Thereafter he can execute the WILL in your favour.

My uncle wanted execute a Will in my name & also he wanted me to be a power of attorney for that property to deal with local Panchayat / Other govt agency for the day to day activity on his behalf as he is old & not able to move around. Also he wanted me to inheritance his asset after his death as he has no kids & I am taking care of him. Now Can he execute a registered Will cum POA in my name OR do the same need to be executed separately?


He can execute a both simultaneously. The WILL will come into force after his death only. The GPA is different legal right. IT will give you the authorization to administrate the property of your uncle from the date of execution.

Both you can do on the same date.

Please proceed .
