Dear friends,
A appoints B as his lawful attorney to sell his piece of property by a registered power of attorney deed. B in the capacity of attorney sells the land to C, the purchaser. C pays the entire consideration amount to B and the sale deed in favour of C is registered. B, the attorney issues a cheque to A being the sale price of the land. The cheque gets dishonoured. Before A could proceed with an action against B, B dies. Is it possible for A to file a suit against the legal heirs of the deceased power of attorney holder B ?

i haven't come cross this type of case, if there was a clause in the POA that the Attorney can receive sale considaration, issue receipts to execute sale agreement/ deed, then executant A can go against the LR's of B for recovery of money

Yes. As can be seen from your  question, since the POA is for sale of the property, A can file a case for the money from the lrs.

Hellow Mr.Do not matter does not matter,


Kindly go through my querry carefully. It is the power of attorney holder B who is dead and not the Principal A.
