Gpoa for sale of property

My query is as follows:

Two of my sisters residing in Delhi, along with me, are joint / co-owners of a small residential plot in Ambala that we now wish to sell.

2. Both my sisters are of an advanced age, ailing, and not in a position to travel. Hence, they wish to execute a GPOA in my favor to dispose off this plot on their behalf. I believe this GPOA will need to be registered at the Sub-Registrar's office in Delhi, where my sisters reside.

I live in Mumbai.

My question is will I need to be physically present at Delhi for the Registration of the GPOA, or my full ID and address details i.e. Adhaar Card, Photographs etc, on the document will be adequate for registration of the GPOA?

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the process for selling a jointly owned property when co-owners are unable to travel. The main question is whether a General Power of Attorney (GPOA) needs to be registered in Delhi, where the co-owners reside, and if the power agent must be physically present. The consensus is that the power agent (the person receiving the GPOA) will likely need to be present at the Sub-Registrar's office for the registration of the GPOA.

You need to be present before the concerned sub registrar for signing the GPA deed as the power agent accepting the power deed authirised in your favor.

This will ensure you to sell the property at Ambala on the basis of the power of attorney document executed in your favor, on behalf of your sisters.

Wherever the principal would be able to register the power of attorney deed in your favor, you may have to be present before that sub registrar for the purpose as satetd erlier
