Power of attorney for sale of immovable property

Is power of attorney required to be registered for sale of immovable property?

i.e. If the immovable property belongs to persons A and B and person A wishes to give PoA to B, is the PoA required to be registered?

If yes,

From when is this required? i.e. has this law always been in place or is the law introduced in a particular year, say, 1998, 2010, etc?
With whom does one need to legally register the PoA? Only sub-registrar or any notary agent or magistrate?

Thanking in anticipation of your response(s).

Quick Summary

This discussion explores the necessity of registering a Power of Attorney (PoA) when selling immovable property, specifically when one co-owner grants PoA to another. It also seeks clarification on the historical implementation of such laws and the correct authority for PoA registration. A key point raised is that sales of immovable property via PoA are generally considered invalid, with further inquiry into when this legal stance was established.
