Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina

Re: Transfer of land

If your POA does not specifically give you the ability to make gifts to yourself, you are going to have a very hard time selling the property to any third party in the future.

Re: Transfer of land

Suggest that you have witnesses to any Deed or document your father may sign (in addition to the notary).

Suggest that You NOT sign a "Quit Claim" or any Deed to yourself via a POA.

You can have prepared a NC Bargain and Sale or Warranty type deed, and all supporting documents, you may require in order to record the Deed in NC.

But, Your DAD should be the one to sign the Deed and docs, before a notary or Commissioner of Deeds and witnesses.

The duly executed Deed and supporting docs, may need to be presented to your county clerk's office, in NY, to be "Exemplified" for filing and recording in another state ie., NC.

You may then transmit to NC, for filing and recording, per NC's real property Clerk's office, instruction and direction. Which you should consult directly before doing anything.

You may also want to update your father's family tree, with your father and your attorney's help.

Good luck,
