The POA to the extent of the principal's share is valid.

Like to add this rider to Mr. Vishal's opinion: The POA is valid to the extent of the Principal's share, provided it is so mentioned in the deed or in some manner the Agent has been put on notice about this. Else, the scope of agency becomes uncertain.

What is the wrong if a person appoints any other person his power of attorney? Even if the property is an ancestral even then any shareholder can appoint any agent to look after his interest in the property and it is good if such shareholder also brings this fact to the knowledge of all concerned.
