Re: Power of Attorney
Only the personal representative has authority to sell assets of the probate estate. I would be surprised if any title company would cover the mortgage if someone other than the personal representative were to sign the transfer documents.

No, only the executor can sell, unless there is a court order. If you want do discuss this, you may call for a free consultation.
