Can registered gpa transfer property within blood relation

I have done registered GPA in name of my son for certain properties . It is mentioned in GPA that my son has all selling rights and keep proceeds but i cannot sell and have only rights to collect rent . Will this make my son the owner of property

You may pleaase remember the the GPA is only an authorisation to the power agent to perform certain tasks as specified in the power deed and not a trasnfer of property or its title to the power agent.

The principal is still the owner and has full rights to terminate the power deed and sell the property anytime before the  power agent is alienating  or selling the property by the virtue of the registered power of attorney deed on his name

No, power of attorney holder can not be presumed oner of property A power of attorney grants the holder the authority to act on behalf of principal ( The Owner ) in specific matter but it does not transfer ownership of property. The principal ( The Owner ) will remain Owner of the property and he has every right to cancel/terminate power/authority any time and even he can sell the property to anyone as per  his choice.

No, your son will not become owner of property by virtue of said GPA.

Yes.  I agree with the views of the above learned experts.

Very well analysed, opined and advised by learned experts, I endorse.

Your son is just an agent and doing /functioning on your behalf during your pleasure or life time, which ever is earlier, for authorised action(s) as mentioned therein the power given by you

Sir, Thanks for replies ! My doubt is Can a irrevocable POA transfer title ?

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate)     19 April 2025

Power of attorney whether revocable or irrevocable is just a document authorising the power agent to perform the tasks specified in the deed, it is not a document transferring the rights or title of the property to power agent for any reason.
