Can a husband of the deceased wife sell the property if...

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 21 February 2018 This query is : Resolved
I have purchased a house plot in Hyderabad in 1973-74 with my money with valid receipt and got registered it in
my wife name and in 1980 ,my wife empowered me with Irrevocable General Power of Attorney to sell the property
and granted all powers including that the powers vested will be appllicable to all heirs,administrators and all those concerned with the deal without fixing any time limit fixed to sell the property. hence,in the light of the above powers, I have entered into a sale agreement with a party after having received a token amount. Now I,the agreement holder wants to get the property registered after paying the balance of amount.
Last year my wife passed away due to cancer. In tdhis condtext what is my position whether I can go for Sale?

GPA expires with the expiry of your wife. Now your status is just as one of the legal heir, like other legal heirs of your wife. You alone cannot sell the property, if registered in the name of your wife.

Yes. Agreed with the advise of Mr. Dhingra ji. After expiry of the principal of POA automatically not valid. As you are also a legal heir, dispose the property with all other legal heirs of your wife.
