I have my brother’s durable power of Attorney. He doesn’t have a bank account. I spoke to the title company who is the originator of the check & they said the check had to be written to him. What are my options?
You would need to open a bank account for him. Since he can’t be present to open the account, that will cause some difficulties. You should call your bank and see what their requirements are to open an account.
You could possible do a third party endorsement using the PoA and sign it over to you for you to hold for him.
With the coronavirus, I doubt you would be able to go to the jail or prison to have him sign so that is another complication.
Property of a deceased person
We inherited a house that has a mortgage balance that is almost equal to the sellable price of the property. Do we need to sell the house, or let it go into foreclosure? The heir is also the executor of the will.
