Re: Can We sell property?
Depends on what the Power of Attorney says. It would probably be best to have an attorney review the POA before attempting to sell the property. A closing attorney will most likely have to pass off on the document anyway but you don't want to get that far in the process and then find out the thing is not sufficient to sell real property. A POA must state specifically that the action to be taken is allowed. Some POA's are very broad and allow just about everything while some are quite specific.
