Power of attorney

1] In POA you are trusty and not beneficiary.  As per Supreme Court  citation, immoveble property  chiannot be gifted by POA that too for himself.  Best way is to execute Gift Deed in your favour from your father.

I think I may have to respectfully disagree with my learned friend Adv. Mr. Jeevan Patil's opinion to the effect of POA cannot gift the property to himself.  There is no such ruling in this particular aspect, atleast to my belief and I request my friend to quote the citation details governing this law.  The POA deed empowers the power agent to act on behalf of the principal on a specific or general acts which stands ratified.  Thus as per the power deed, the power agent is empowered to transact with the property to any one and there is no restrictions that he cannot transact with the property to his own self especially if there is a specific mention about it in the recital of the deed.

However my suggestion is that since father has to visit the registrar office to sign the registration of power deed in the presence of Registrar, it is better he make  the gift deed itself straightaway, which will be more beneficial to you by cutting the expenses for preparing the POA Deed, its registration charges, time and energy, because at the same cost you can get the gift deed executed in your favor and the problem is solved.
