icon Registration of Power of Attorney for deemed membership to association

Our owners association needs to identify if a Power of Attorney submitted by spouse of an owner empowering them to be a deemed member of the association needs to be registered or notarized.


A. Dear Client,

To ensure legal enforceability for all purposes, a Power of Attorney (POA) should be registered under the Registration Act, 1908. This registration formalizes the document and empowers the appointed executor or principal to authorize another person to act on their behalf or carry out specific tasks.

A. Dear client,
Rent receipts are extremely valuable. If you're a tenant, a landlord's rent receipt provides proof that you're current with your rent payments. Should the landlord ever claim you haven't paid, you can produce a copy of your rent receipts. Likewise, if a landlord sues you for nonpayment or takes you to court for eviction due to nonpayment, you can prove you're up to date by showing rent receipts to the judge.

Hence, we would advise you to consult a lawyer for the purpose of filing a ...ReadMore

Is power of attorney valid if time exceeds 15 years

2 Response(s)

A. Good evening!
Some Power of Attorney documents have a duration clause in which the time limit for its validity is specified. If the limit is not specified, it would stay valid until the principal (the person who authorizes the other person to act on her behalf) is alive.
General or ordinary PoAs expires the moment the principal becomes incapacitated. A durable PoA continues even when the person is incapacitated.
Thank you.
