Section 190
Continuance of power of attorney
⎯(1) Every power of attorney shall, so far as concerns any act or thing done thereunder in good faith, operate and continue in force until notice of the death of the donor of the power, or until notice of other revocation thereof, has been received by the donee of the power.
(2)
Every act or thing within the scope of the power, done in good faith by the donee of the power after such death or other revocation as is referred to in subsection (1) and before notice thereof has been received by him, shall be as effectual in all respects as if that death or other revocation had not happened or been made.
(3)
The Registrar, before registering any instrument executed by an attorney, may require proof that the power of attorney under which the attorney purported to act was still in force at the date of the execution of the instrument.
(4)
A statutory declaration by any attorney to the effect that he has not received any notice or information of the revocation of a power of attorney by death or otherwise shall be taken to be conclusive proof of the non-revocation, at the time when the act was done, in favour of all persons dealing with the donee of the power in good faith, without notice of the said death or other revocation.
