Validity of poa

My father is old and cannot travel. Can he sign a POA, on stamp paper and notarized in one city, authorizing me to represent him on a civil court case regarding ancestral property inheritance in a different city, different state? How long will this POA notarized on a stamp paper be valid for? In general, how long do notarized stamp paper documents hold validity for?



Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the validity of a Power of Attorney (POA) for a civil court case concerning ancestral property inheritance. The key question is whether a POA, signed and notarised on stamp paper in one city, can be used to represent a father in a different city and state. The consensus is that such a POA is generally valid for court cases until revoked by the principal, regardless of where it was executed relative to the court's location.

Where the registrar's office is situated the notary attestation is not valid.

Notarized Power of Attorney for court cases are valid until and unless it is cancelled by principal.It is also immaterial that it has been executed in another city and case is pending in  another city.
