Gpa transactions are invalid and don't have any force as per law . However owing to the extremely high number of such transactions in the city , the apex court had regularised all such transactions carried out prior to October 2011 before the Suraj lamps judgement was delivered . Any transaction by virtue of GPA after that date does not confer any valid title . The remedy available to your mother in law to carry out the said sale is a registered sale deed . That will ensure authenticity and effective transfer . 9999931153
