Michigan Real Estate Exam Practice Question
A seller was able to go to the closing and right for paperwork to sell a parent's property while the parent was in the hospital. How is this possible?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B is accurate because a power of attorney allows one individual (the seller) to act on behalf of another (the parent) in legal matters, including property transactions, while the parent is incapacitated.
Option A is incorrect; being named executor pertains to managing a will after death, not during a parent's hospitalization.
Option C is misleading; while joint tenancy allows co-owners to act for each other, it does not automatically grant authority to sell if one owner is incapacitated without specific provisions.
Option D is unfounded; a doctor's recommendation does not grant legal authority to sell property.
