1) Is the irrevocable power of Attorney is valid after the death of the principal person.
2) Mr. A has given irrevocable Power of attorney along with his family members (1 brother, 3 sons, 3 grand sons & 4 brother's sons) to Mr. B in the year 1982 for selling his vacant land of 7 acre.
3) Mr. C has purchased 1 plot (1 ground) from Mr. B in 1998 (through 40 month monthly EMI), and got patta in 2004 on his name for the same. Mr. C is paying the Property tax, water tax, house tax, etc for past 17 years.
4) Now all of a sudden Mr. X claims himself to be the grandson (who has born after 1985) of Mr. A and says that Mr. A has passed away in 1989 so the sale deed of the land purchase is invalid and threatening Mr. A that he should pay him 50% of current land value or hand over the land to him if he pays 50% of the land value, otherwise he will get stay from the court.
5) When Mr. C claimed that he has patta on his name for the land and also the POA given by his grandfather is irrevocable so he cant claim the sale deed is invalid, Mr. X all of sudden says that he the legal heir of his father and he has all the right to claim his grandfather property which is sold without his knowledge.
Kindly advice me proper way to handle this issue. Also confirm whether the POA is valid after the death of the principal and under which clause a grandson can claim his right on the sold out property of his grandmother.
I will be grateful for you valuable and timely help on this regards. Thanks in advance
