power of attorney

gayathri (Querist) 25 May 2010 This query is : Resolved
In a scenario, whereby A executes a power of attorney in favour of B to sell a property, and B sells such property to C. Now can the power of attorney be held to be invalid because A had died by the time the sale of property to C had happened?
In essence, should the executor of the power of attorney be alive for the power of attorney to be valid?

Power of attorney should be alive for the power of attorney to be valid (alive). Whether the death of the executor has not been conveyed to the holder or has not come to the knowledge of the holder position of law does not change and hence sale deed becomes invalid.
