Signatures are required for sale and purchase of all homes in every single state. There is the option to have a power of attorney executed so that one person may sign on behalf of others that must be signed by the person appointing the power of attorney.

A power of attorney may be granted to anyone of age (not necessarily a lawyer) and would normally be in written form signed by the individual granting the power of attorney and may be required to be witnessed (or notorized) by a disinterested person.  you probably did not grant a power of attorney unless you signed documents without reading or understanding them.  A power of attorney may be very general (as to help an invalid pay bills) or very specific (to sell a particular car) and may be open ended or have a certain expiration date.  You may revoke a power of attorney at any time by providing the "attorney" with written notice and sending a copy to anyone who may need to know.\n\nI once bought a car from a man who had a written power of attorney from his invalid mother who had title to the car.  The family lawyer still had his power of attorney document in their office.  The vehicle registry would not accept it to transfer title to me until it was registered with the city which placed a copy on file and placed their seal on the document to show the registry.\n\nIf the matter is potentially important, consult with a lawyer to protect your rights.  Good luck.

Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter", literally "Great Paper"), also known as Magna Carta Libertatum, is an English 1215 charter which limited the power of English Monarchs, specifically King John, from absolute rule. Magna Carta was the result of disagreements between the Pope and King John and his barons over the rights of the king: Magna Carta required the king to renounce certain rights and respect certain legal procedures, and to accept that the will of the king could be bound by law. Magna Carta is widely considered to be the first step in a long historical process leading to the rule of constitutional law. Hope this helps! Or you could go to the source below!

I would say not, for the simple reason that whatever the circumstances in which the power of attorney has been granted, they end on the death of the person concerned.  From that moment onwards, others take over, either as executors of the will, if it is a valid will, or under letters of administration.  It is therefore of no concern to the person having the power of attorney what the contents of the will might be.  Indeed, it might give rise to their interfering in some way with the property of the person whose affairs they are looking after in the light of their knowledge of the will's contents.  If the person whose affairs are being taken care of was of sound mind when making the will, then the will should stand, as it reflects the testator's intentions, and nothing should be done to frustrate the carrying out of those expressed wishes.  To do so would amount to an abuse of power.

My understanding, though I live in Australia and it may differ is that it is a legal document or agreement which gives a defined person, broad legal powers to make legal decisions on someones behalf. Power of Attorney can be appointed by someone in a healthy state of mind who wants to ensure that a trusted person has control of their affairs should anything happen or can be court appointed to a person if the other is seen to be someway incompetant of making decisions any longer in their own best interests. One can apply to become someones Power of Attorney should they feel that the person is not able to make sensible and informed decisions on their own behalf, but this has to be proven with a hearing and documentation to back up the claim that leaving them to make their own decisions is detremental to them.\n\nThere are many different types of Power Of Attorney.\nGeneral\nProperty\nFinancial\nLife and Death Decisions\nLimited\nSpecific\nMedical\nMilitary\nChildren's Welfare\nMental Illness\n\njust to name a few. I'm not an expert but have been through all this with my Grandmother who now has severe late stage Dementia. \n\nThere are many sites on the internet to explain it all mor thouroughly. A good one to check out is http://www.legalhelpmate.com/power-of-attorney.\n\nThis site allows you to download the relevant forms to fill out before going to a solicitor and also explains the whole meaning of it legally. The site is helpful as it has the Laws regarding this from different countries around the world. You just click the link to your country. If it's no help type in Legal/power of attorney on a Yahoo search and it will open many sites for you. Hope this is of some assistance to you.

A Living Will is your mother's statement of her desire to be kept alive by extraordinary means (or not) if she becomes incapacitated.  It would avoid having a family fight over your mother, if she has already put her desires in writing.  \n\nSometimes a health care power of attorney includes that statement in addition to giving you the right to make other medical decisions for her.\n\nReview the document that you have to see what it covers.

Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter", literally "Great Paper"), also called Magna Carta Libertatum ("Great Charter of Freedoms"), is an English charter originally issued in 1215. Magna Carta was the most significant early influence on the long historical process that led to the rule of constitutional law today. Magna Carta was originally created because of disagreements between Pope Innocent III, King John and his English barons about the rights of the King. Magna Carta required the king to renounce certain rights, respect certain legal procedures and accept that the will of the king could be bound by law.

Power of Attorney means that person acts for and as your Mother in any capacity she wishes. Fight this tooth and nail should she try to become it. You could lose your property!

An affidavit is simply a statement sworn as true in front of a 'commisioner of oaths', they will also sign the document. This is quite unusual; may I enquire what it is for/is it really necessary, in english law the only common use I have come across in relation to these is for a damaged will (an affidavit of plight must be obtained). You will need to see a lawyer anyway as they are likely to be able to sort this out for you, maybe even able to act as commisioner themself. Ask their advice while you are there.\n\nSorry I can not be of more help the Irish legal system is a bit different to the english.

You will have to consult a lawyer familiar with the law in Gujarat. English common law does allow a person to get legal ownership of property after 20 years, called "adverse possession," but the the use of the property must be known by the (original) owner, by claim of right, and nothing done by him for the full 20 years. Whether Gujarat or Indian law has followed this English common law, I do not know.

Power of attorney means that you give complete control over to some one else..eg. You have a company but you need to go away for a few years so you sign power of attorney over to me, which means while your away the company basicly belongs to me, I dont own it but I have all the decision making power as if I did own it...hope this helps

I think an example of this would be where UK Development Control Officers for Councils can give planning permission under delegated powers, i.e. the application does not have to go before the planning committee made up of Council members for approval.
