Is the power of attorney valid if one of the landlords die?

I have a power of attorney of a property in pune which was executed in the year 1999 on stamp paper and i duly notarised. however out of the family of 7 brothers and their parents (total -9 ), the mother has expired in the year 2006. Is my power of attorney against the land still valid & can i sell the property with the help of this power of attorney.. Advocates, gurus pls reply ??

you need to execute a new Power of Attorney deed as earlier one dies with the deceased person

Power of Attorney expires immediately on expiry of its executor so in the given matter, a fresh GPA is required to be obtained from all co-sharers of property.
