My mother and cousin(mothers late sister's daughter) had given Power Of Attorney to my uncle 4 years ago to sell ancestral property as he was financially very ill.I was away from the country and my cousin's brother was a minor then.The uncle promised that he would part with some amount of the sale proceedings and got the POA executed at a sub-registrar's office .Since then he has not been in contatc and refuses to reveal if the land is sold or not and about the sale proceeds that he owes us if sold.But we have now come to know through other non reliable sources that the property has been sold in 2009 itself.We have not received any of our share so far.
The catch is that the concerned ancestralproperty is without a partition deed.Can such property be sold if one of the legal heirs refuses to sign/give POA ?In this case my other aunt had refused to sign the POA.
