1. It is valid, but at the time of registration of the land thru., GPA sub registrar may demand for the registnation of the GPA it is executded in favour of 3rd person. GPA ewceucted in the name of blood relative then regn., is not necessary.

2. Yes

Thank you Mr. Rajeev.

Actually few of them are advising me that if i buy the minor's property with GPA, .then it is possible that minor can claim the property legally back after they become major. Is this true?

Being this is the case, how can i consider buying a property from a GPA holder of the minor? please let me know the right procedure to buy the property and keep them in a secure way.
