Re: Changing the name on a property deed
Yes. The owner of record has to sign a power of attorney which meets the legal requirements and authorizes the attorney in fact to convey the property to the owner's daughter.
Re: Changing the name on a property deed
Provided the Power of Attorney document is properly executed and its language permits the "Attorney-in-fact" to convey the property. In some cases, a power of attorney may be limited "Special" and in other cases they are "General", giving broader powers.
