Question...my mother is incapacitated in the hospital, she is not expected to make it much longer. I have power of attorney and want to transfer the house into my name prior to her passing. How do I do it? I looked at the quit claims and SHE has to sign them, well clearly she cannot. Do I just sign where she is supposed to sign and just write "power of attorney" next to it? Please help. Thank you
Hi Jan,
Welcome to Mortgage fit,
You should consult a lawyer for this transfer as just signing next to the applicant's signature may not be a good practice and if you have any siblings they may challenge the documents signed by you in the court.So with proper advice from an attorney you may proceed with the transfer because if in future your transaction is proved as illegal you will hardly have any stance regarding the property....
If you have siblings,you should give them fair idea about this power of attorney and your plans to transfer the property and make sure that your siblings are signing the docs of property transfer as witness.....
Feel free to ask any further query if you have..........
