Power of attorney in real estate transactions In California, your agent can typically act for you to do the following: Buy or sell property or land. Collect rent from investment properties you own.
Yes, a Power of Attorney can indeed sell property before the principal's death, provided that the POA document explicitly grants this authority. The ability to sell property is not automatically included in all POAs, so it's crucial to review the document carefully to ensure this power has been conferred.
Can a Nursing Home Override a Power Of Attorney? Generally, a nursing home cannot override the decisions made by an agent with power of attorney.
While POA can extend to real estate transactions, power of attorney can only be used to sell a property before death. After the principal's death, the property must be sold through the probate process.
If you are a licensed attorney in California, you must have two years full-time licensed sales experience within the last five years or have at least two years real estate related experience within the last five years related to your law practice.
More often than not, our clients opt for the General Durable Power of Attorney (a mix of the Durable and General Power of Attorney) for it's ease of use by the Agent, and sustainability over the lifetime of the Prinicipal.
THIS DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY MUST BE DATED AND MUST BE ACKNOWLEDGED BEFORE A NOTARY PUBLIC OR SIGNED BY TWO WITNESSES. IF IT IS SIGNED BY TWO WITNESSES, THEY MUST WITNESS EITHER (1) THE SIGNING OF THE POWER OF ATTORNEY OR (2) THE PRINCIPAL'S SIGNING OR ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF HIS OR HER SIGNATURE.
If a power of attorney is durable, it remains valid and in effect even if you become incapacitated and unable to make decisions for yourself. If a power of attorney document does not explicitly say that the power is durable, it ends if you become incapacitated.
YOU MAY NOT TRANSFER THE PRINCIPAL'S PROPERTY TO YOURSELF WITHOUT FULL AND ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION OR ACCEPT A GIFT OF THE PRINCIPAL'S PROPERTY UNLESS THIS POWER OF ATTORNEY SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZES YOU TO TRANSFER PROPERTY TO YOURSELF OR ACCEPT A GIFT OF THE PRINCIPAL'S PROPERTY.
Barring exceptions, you do not need to file the POA paperwork with the courts. If you want your POA to be responsible for real estate transactions, this is when you would need to file the paperwork with the courts and include a legal description of the property.
