Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

Poa specific & general

My uncle (Father's brother) has share in property, which I also have share due to hereditary. He stays is Karnataka. (i) Can he give specific POA in my favor, (since Karnataka stamp duty says that nearest relative can execute specific power @ Rs.100/- stamp paper) at Karnataka? If so, what is the stamp duty to be paid. or Is it advisable to register general POA at Karnataka? If it regd at Karnataka, can the property at Tamilnadu be transferred to 3rd party by me? Pl advice.

PoA can be executed anywhere in the world; but transfer shall be only in TN. The PoA is just an instrument to facilitate transfer;

You should draw a "family settlement" in which your uncle withdraws his share by way of relinquishment in your favour. On the basis of that document, you may approach the local authorities in TN for transfer of title in your name.
