Power of attorney

POA is valid only when it is registered, unregistered has little value with regards to sale transactions.

Thank you Adv. Raghavan for your prompt response.

Does my father need to come to the registrars office to register the POA? or can I get the notary to notarize his signature on the POA and then I can go to the registrars office and get the POA registered without him having to come as he is not in good health and thats the reason he wants to appoint me as his POA.

your father have to visit the subregister office for POA, in some cases registrar use to visit the client place, u can try that thing also. one thing i am not able to understand, when your is not well,what is the point in getting POA at this moment, rather you can get his property transferred to your name

To execute the sale deed as POA,registration in concerned sub registrar office is essential.If your father is not in good health or can not move or some other  relevant personal   problem is there to approach to registration office,you can request the registrar to go your father's residence and register the deed of POA paying  the nominal fee. .then you can move according to the contents of the deed.

When a general power of attorney is taken, each party with whom any transaction is done may demand a certified copy of the POA. One has to apply to the Registrar for the issue of a certified copy or copies of the POA. There are fees for them. You may also have to greese palms to expedite things. It would be advantageous to get a few extra copies at the time of registration itself.
