According to the Power of Attorney Act of 1882, a Power of Attorney (for short ‘POA’) is any instrument that empowers any specified person to act in the name of the person who is originally executing the document.
The instrument will be legally binding since it has been extended by the person carrying it out. Aside from the definition provided in the Act, the rules governing POA have been subjected to extensive scrutiny and modifications, as the government has limited the use of such instruments that expressly result in the sale of immovable property.
