You can write that earlier the land was in such and such a district and subsequent to the reorganization of the districts now it's in the new district by name.

While mentioning land details you should have to mention both district i.e. earlier district and present changed district in order to avoid every confusion.

For the Special Power of Attorney, it’s recommended to include both the old and the new district names in the property address. This helps avoid any confusion regarding the property location due to district reorganization. You can specify that the land was previously located in the old district and, following reorganization, is now in the new district. This way, the document will be clear and legally comprehensive.

If the district has been recently bifurcated then for the purpose of this power of attorney you can mention the same schedule of property as found in the title document, don't change it.

As advised earlier you may write the same schedule of property which is found in the registered title deed to avoid unnecessary confusion.

Dear Client,

In the Present Scenario, you are staying in USA, and you are planning to send a Special Power of Attorney to a relative of yours. Further, the district of land has been changed, and you wish to know which district to include as the address in the Special Power of Attorney. Herein, when a district changes, due to certain administrative reasons, it is important that the land records related to the district are also updated. Therefore, usually, the address must reflect the present district name, where the property is located, i.e., the changed name. With respect to drafting of such document, this new address would be relevant for the relevant authority to oversee any legal procedures related to the property. With respect to the registration process, if your Special Power of Attorney is intended to be registered for property transactions, it may need to be registered at the local sub-registrar's office, for which the new district's name is necessary.

Hope you find this answer beneficial for resolving the dispute.

If the entire area of your land has gone to the new district then you should mention the name of both the districts as suggested in my earlier post.
