Release deed/ relinquishing deed registration in kerala with notirised poa

Dear experts,

 

Three siblings ( A, B, & C) have equal rights in a joint roperty in Kerala. The sibling A in Tamilnadu and the sibling B in Mumbai wish to relinquish release their rights as love and compassion, favouring the sibling C in Kerala. Sibling A and sibling B cannot visit Kerala.

Can't  the sibling A snd sibling B execute notorised  POA authorising a common friend to register release deed by sibling A and sibling B favouting sibling C ?

 

or

What  is the easiest procedure to relinquish transfer / release their rights favouing sibling C?

 

Can the diblings give notorised POA authoring sibling C herself as their attorney to register the release deed favouring sibling C in the sub registrar office in Kerala?

 

Thanking you, experts..



Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that a simply notarised Power of Attorney (POA) is not legally sufficient to register a release deed for property in Kerala. For siblings A and B to relinquish their rights in favour of sibling C without visiting Kerala, they must execute a registered General Power of Attorney (GPA). This registered GPA can then authorise a common friend, a family relative, or even C's spouse to register the release deed on their behalf in Kerala. A notarised POA alone will likely be rejected by the registration office.

A notarized Power of Attorney (PoA) is generally insufficient for executing a registered release deed, as property transfers, including release deeds, usually require a compulsorily registered PoA. While a notarized PoA verifies the signature, it does not hold the legal authority of a registered document for transferring immoveable property.

The power of attorney (PoA) has to be registered (notarised not acceptable) for authorising "someone" to execute a registered Release / Relinquish Deed before area Sub-Registrar where property is located i.e., Kerala in instant case.

Whether subject property is ancestral or self-acquired in the names of A, B & C to determine whether A & B may release or relinquish their respective share  in  favour of C ?

Advocate Bhartesh goyal (advocate)     08 March 2026

A Power of Attorney  (poa) used to execute a document that requires compulsory registration such as for the sale,transfer or disposal of immovable property  must it self be registered, under sec 32 o Registration Act,1908, an unregistered or merely  notarized poa is generally invalid for transfer of rights through relinquish deed.

A and B reside in different states; each shall execute a registered GPA (it is preferable to give the GPA to C's spouse or a family relative/friend) to execute a release/relinquishment deed in favour of C on behalf of A & B.
