My father and his brother (my uncle) bought a house few years ago together both having 50% share in it. My father transferred his share to me and is not alive now. Both me and my uncle now share the house jointly. Recently we have started to have a dispute about some open space at the backyard of the house with the neighbor. I am thinking of going to court about it but my uncle lives far off and is unable to come due to distance and poor health. He can come once or twice but not on every date. Is it necessary for both partners to appear in court on every date. Can I take a power of attorney from my uncle and appear for him.

You may obtain a Power of attorney to attend the court on behalf of him from your uncle. Then you only can attend to the case in your own capacity and on behalf of him.

Although in civil matters parties are not required to attend /appear in court each and every hearing date like criminal cases still you obtain power of attorney from your uncle so you can act on behalf of your uncle in court whenever require.
