Can a notary power of attorney made in 1993 be used to transfer/sale immovable property.

An immovable property can be transferred / sold only on the basis of a Registered Power of Attorney. Notorised power of attorney is not valid.

But sir, Power of attorney was issued in 1993, and only after the year 2000 it became mandatory to register it. So now if someone has an old POA, can he execute a sale deed. Also the POA holder is a partner of the firm holding the property and relative of the other owners.

the registration act is retrospective nature Act so the notary tested poA is voidable.

@jatinji : So you mean that all POA issued before on notary attestation turn void and nullified and cannot be used anywhere.

If your POA is irrevocable and coupled with interest supported by other documents,you can relied upon it. Further if your POA must not be mentioning the period of the use by the donee.

it is quite clear that u obtained poa against consideration 4 the sake of saving stamp duty, if the said poa would be the registered one, owner any time can cancell it without any obligation.
