Special power of attorney

Can a Donee execute SPA to register a Gift deed ?

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether a Donee can execute a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) to register a Gift Deed. It confirms that while the Donor can grant an SPA for presenting the deed, the Donee may also need to provide a registered SPA for accepting the Gift Deed, especially if both parties are unable to attend the registration office in person. The importance of registering both the SPA and the Gift Deed for immoveable property is also highlighted.

Yes; the POA should be registered in case it is an immoveable property and also thereafter the gift deed should also to be registered by the donor and donee, identified by the POA holder separately in reference with the registered POA..
