There are two kinds of power of attorney,special and general. The special power of attorney is constituted for the performance of a particular act, thing or deeds while the general power of attorney is constituted for the performance of all acts,things and deeds generally mentioned or not in the powe of attornment but it is in the nature of the power.

Dear P.K.Patel,


A special power of attorney is a very limited power of attorney. It allows your Attorney-in-Fact to do only those things.


A general power of attorney allows your Attorney-in-Fact to do anything you would legally be able to do in your name.


There is a difference between

a. A general power of attorney (to manage my properties...)

b. A special power of attorney (to sell my property at  particular place.)

c. A general power of attorney with a specific clause (To manage my properties and if necessary, sell them...)

d. A special power of attorney with a general clause (To sell my property, and to manage them till the sale takes place ...) etc.

Hope you be cleared now.
