Sir,
[1] The POA ceases to be valid on the demise of the executor.
[2] If the property is owned jointly it is advisable to include the heirs of the deceased joint owner.
Good Luck,

A new power of attorney is to be executed with the surviving brother and legal heirs of deceased brother after mutation of share of property on the legal heirs.

Irrevocable POA? A power of attorney deed becomes null and void automatically upon the death of the principal, thus any transaction taken place through the said power of attorney deed after the death of one of the principals will be considered as invalid. Therefore the tenants certainly have a right to obtain the consent of the legal heirs of the deceased owner of the property.
