Yes you can but you need a proper POA from your sister Notarized or Legalized having the consent of Embassy at US.

Similar query has already been dealt earlier.

As far Maharashtra is concern in the transaction of transfer of property POA should be registered with the Sub-Registrar. Notorized POA is not accepted. It is to be looked whether this Law and especially Registered POA at US may or may not accepted in India.

if the property is in a cooperative society. In such case, the process of transmission is simple - can be done based on separate affidavits executed by you in India and by your sister in U.S. before a US Notary. No registration of property is required for transmission of property. ALso check if the nomination is done by your father. vasudevan

When POA comes at INDIA, thereafter adudicate before the collector as per section 18 of the Indian Stamp Act.

One more problem I am facing is that, a bridge is going to be constructed by the Highways department, So they have issued a notice to acquire 20% of my property today. Now, as my mom, my siter and myself are legal hiers, how will the compensation be awarded and

1. Should all be present before the concerened person to get their own compensation?

2. Should my sister living in US be appearing in person to get the compensation, Or can she give authoring to some other legal hier to get the compensation on her behalf?

3. If my sister is unable to make in person before the collector/whomsover concerned, will the compensation never be awarded to the three of us?

4. How long does a process of land acquisition take? This January, they have issued the preliminary notice. If it takes quite long, we siblings will take the process of transferring property to mother. Will the latter take longer than the former. Kindly advise.
