Effect of registering a power of attorney
134 Effect of registering a power of attorney
An act done by the donee under and in accordance with the terms of a registered power of attorney has the same effect as if the act were done by the donor.
A registered power of attorney is evidence that the donee is authorised to do anything within the terms of the power of attorney.
The registrar may register an instrument executed under a registered power of attorney without being satisfied that the power of attorney has not been revoked.
The registrar must not register an instrument executed under a registered power of attorney if the instrument became effective after—
registration of an instrument of revocation or disclaimer of the power of attorney; or
someone else is registered as owner of the relevant lot after the death or bankruptcy of the donor.
