I am interested in purchasing a certain property. The sale deed was registered through a Power of Attorney of the purchaser's wife but they are now divorced. The sale deed reads as:
This conveyance of sale is made at address... between Shri... hereinafter referred to as VENDORs (which expression shall unless repugnant to the context or meaning thereof include their heirs, successors, representatives and assigns) as the one part and Shri.... represented by his attorney Mrs....., aged about 40 yrs, residing at..., as constituted by his power of attorney dated..., hereinafter referred to as the PURCHASER (which expression shall also include his successors, legal representatives administrator and assigns) of the other part, all Indian nationals.
The question I have is: Does this make the legal representative (his wife) also the purchaser and therefore the owner of the property? The property is a plot of land and is registered only on the man's name. Is it safe to purchase this property from the man?
