Dear Sir, Legally, a POA is revoked automatically upon the death of the principal. Since your uncle went missing in 2005 and was "presumably dead" by 2012 (under the 7-year rule of the Indian Evidence Act), any action taken by the son using that POA after the date of presumed death is legally invalid.
