Understand the basics before buying a property.
GPA stands for General Power of Attorney. It is a legal document through which one person authorizes another person to act on their behalf for specified matters.
In real estate, a GPA may authorize someone to handle certain property-related matters for the owner, depending on the document and applicable law.
No. A Power of Attorney generally gives authority to act for another person; it does not, by itself, transfer ownership of the property.
A registered sale deed is a key instrument for transferring ownership of immovable property.
A GPA serves a different purpose and should not automatically be treated as a substitute for a sale deed.
Before purchasing any property involving a GPA, buyers should verify: ✅ Ownership documents ✅ Title of the property ✅ GPA validity and authority ✅ Registration records ✅ Applicable legal requirements
Property documentation can be complex. Always conduct proper legal due diligence before making a payment or signing an agreement.
Understand the documents. Verify the title. Make an informed decision.
