Registry of 1/4th of my father's plot to a third person.

I sold 1/4 of my father's property in 2012. But the purchaser is asking for registry of 1/4th of the plot in 2026. When I checked documents , I found it was Power of Attorney and not sale deed.
1) How to proceed for sale deed when the property is still undivided among our 4 brothers due to 'worldly' issues ?
2) Is the Power of attorney valid ? Can the purchaser misuse POA during this long duration?
Pls guide

The power of attorney is not  a title document, however the power agent can sell the property provided the principal is live and the principal is having clear and marketable title to the property.

If you have received the sale consideration amount from him then it becomes your duty to execute the sale deed inhis favor, if you do not have full rights in the property then you may convince your siblings and ask them to draw a partition deed and allot you with the property you have sold to the power agent after which you can execute a registered sale deed in his favor

Title of 1/4th undivided part of the property is not transferred in the name of vendee. It means that there is no valid sale transaction (thorugh PoA) since 2012 or  earlier.

Get the property partitioned or your father (if alive); otherwise all 4 of you may execute a registered sale deed for part of the property under sale.  

What are the terms and conditions have been granted to the attorney has to be perused before forming an opinion and oblige. It would be appropriate to show the document (PoA) to a local prudent lawyer  for proper opinion and advise.

Is the property ancestral or your father's own? How did you sell 1/4 th property without partition?
