Ask for a copy of the POA. Run it by your title company. As long as they are willing to issue a title policy without any exemptions regarding the POA, you should be okay.
I have a serious seller who is ready to walk or at the very least do a l/o on her property. However, her husband, who is on the deed, is now in the slammer.
She saids she has his power of attorney for all financial matters. My questions is, does she have the legal authority to sign for him on a lease/option and/or for a land transfer(subject to)?
