Can two poa valid simultaneously

Amit Joshi (Querist) 05 December 2023 This query is : Resolved
My aunty has executed General Power of Attorney (PoA) in my favour in respect of a immovable property 5 years ago. That General PoA was mainly for court cases and for getting legal heir certificate.
Now, my aunty wants to Gift that Property to my mother. And for that we are planning to execute Special/General Power of Attorney (New PoA) in my favour again to specifically mention that gift deed. Such specific mention is to avoid future conflict.
My Query is....
(1) Whether I am able to continue both the PoA running Valid simultaneously ?
(2) Whether by doing New PoA, Old PoA cancelled automatically ? I don't want that Old PoA to be Cancelled.
"The person who is doing or executing PoA" and "PoA holder" are same in both PoA.

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether two Powers of Attorney (PoA) can be valid simultaneously. The user's aunt executed a General PoA five years ago primarily for court cases and legal heir certificates. Now, she wishes to gift the property and is considering a new PoA specifically for this purpose. The consensus is that yes, both PoAs can run concurrently as they serve different, specific purposes. Executing a new PoA for a distinct reason does not automatically revoke the older one, especially if the original PoA was not intended for property transfer.

The POA executed 5 years ago in your favour, is not for sale or transfer of property. If the POA is given for the transfer (sale, gift, exchange, mortgage etc.) of property, then a separate POA is not necessary. Otherwise, an amendment to the already executed POA is sufficient.

1. The first power deed was for some other purpose and the second one is for a different purpose hence it can run in parallel to each other.
2. No, it will not be automatically revoked.
Both the POAs can continue because both are for two different purposes.

Yes, you can. Admittedly, the PoAs are different but specific purposes.
