Here are some commonly asked FAQs about GPA (General Power of Attorney) and SPA (Special Power of Attorney) — useful for educating clients, displaying on a website, or including in brochures or legal support forms:

1. What is a Power of Attorney (POA)?

A Power of Attorney is a legal document where one person (the Principal) gives another person (the Agent or Attorney) the authority to act on their behalf in legal or financial matters.

2. What is the difference between GPA and SPA?

  • GPA (General Power of Attorney):
    Grants broad powers to the agent to handle multiple or general tasks, such as managing property, finances, legal proceedings, etc.
  • SPA (Special Power of Attorney):
    Grants authority for a specific task or transaction, such as selling a property, attending a court hearing, or collecting rent.

3. Is a Power of Attorney legally valid without registration?

  • For immovable property transactions, the POA must be registered at the Sub-Registrar Office to be legally valid.
  • For movable property or personal matters, notarization may be sufficient.

4. Can a GPA be used to sell property?

Legally, only a registered Sale Deed transfers ownership. A GPA holder can execute a Sale Deed on behalf of the owner only if the GPA explicitly authorizes it and is registered.

5. Is a notarized GPA/SPA valid in court?

Yes, but registered documents hold stronger legal validity, especially in property matters. Courts may question notarized-only POAs in major transactions.

6. Can a GPA be given to a family member or outsider?

Yes. A GPA or SPA can be granted to any trusted individual — relative, friend, or professional — as long as the Principal is competent.

7. Can a Power of Attorney be revoked?

Yes. A POA can be revoked by the Principal at any time (unless it is irrevocable by agreement). Revocation must be in writing and ideally registered/notified to all relevant parties.

8. Does a POA expire?

  • SPA: Automatically expires once the specified task is completed.
  • GPA: Remains in force until revoked or upon the death/incapacity of the Principal, unless a time limit is specified.

9. What happens if the Principal dies?

The POA becomes null and void upon the death of the Principal. The agent cannot act on their behalf after this.

10. Can NRIs use POA to manage property in India?

Yes. NRIs often execute POAs from abroad (attested by the Indian Embassy/Consulate) to allow a trusted person in India to manage or sell their property.
