Information

Overview

Where the principal authorises the Attorney to do certain general acts on his behalf. The word "General" here means that the power must be general regarding the subject matter and not general with regard to powers in respect of a subject matter.

Either you can give a GPA for all your properties, banking transactions, tax matters, registration, legal disputes and court matters etc. Or you can give a general power to any one category like only for all property matters or only for all Banking processes etc. This type of Power is very wide and has lot of risk if the Attorney is not a trustworthy person.

General Power of Attorney is executed by a person in favour of another to act on behalf of him generally. It may include management of property, Court matter/litigations, sale of mortgage of property or any other act.

A person who has attained majority may execute power of attorney in favour of another person who has attained majority including family members like brother, sister, father and mother to act on his behalf. If a power of attorney is executed to sell property in favour of relatives other than those mentioned above, 2 percent stamp duty shall be paid on market value of such property.

If a power of attorney is executed in favour of developers, Builders of apartment, 4 percent stamp duty shall be paid on market value of such property. (see article 5(f) & 41(a), 41(ea), Schedule to Karnataka Stamp Act 1957).

a.GPA automatically gets cancelled on the death of Executant.

b. Principal (Executant) may cancel it any time.

If the Power of attorney is executed for consideration in respect of property it cannot be unilaterally revoked, prejudicial to the interest of the agent (See Sec.202 of Indian Contract Act, 1872).

Subject :  Difference between a "mortgage" and a "lease"?
Question :  What is the difference between a "mortgage" and a "lease" Please explain

Answer by Menon and Singh, Advocates and Solicitors :  Mortgage and lease have been exclusively dealt with in the Transfer of Property Act. As per Section 58 of the said Act, mortgage is the transfer of an interest in specific immoveable property for the purpose of securing the payment of money advanced or to be advanced by way of loan, an existing or future debt, or the performance of an engagement which may give rise to a pecuniary liability. Section 105 TOPA states that a lease of immoveable property is a transfer of a right to enjoy such property, made for a certain time, express or implied, or in perpetuity, in consideration of a price paid or promised, or of money, a share of crops, service or any other thing of value, to be rendered periodically or on specified occasions to the transferor by the transferee, who accepts the transfer on such terms. Difference- 1. In mortgage, the interest in property is transferred for securing payment of money whereas in lease, interest in property is transferred for enjoyment of property in exchange of some consideration. 2. Almost all types of mortgage requires registration of property but lease requires registration only if the lease period exceeds 11 months. 3. Mortgage deed requires attestation by 2 witness but lease does not require the same. 4. In mortgage the consideration is known as mortgage money whereas in lease, the consideration is known as premium or rent.
