Information regarding release deeds and gift deeds.

Q: I have some queries, I have purchased a flat and NA plot on my father's name but my father has given the power of attorney to my wife. Can my wife sign for the documents for gift deeds or release deeds on behalf of my father as he is old and not able to go to the registrar office for the formalities? Can my wife sale the flat to any other person?

Recently Supreme Court said that this type of transfer is not advisable. But again everything depends on what are the powers included in the power of attorney and if at all your father in not able to go to the office for the formalities then you should contact the Registrar for further informations.
