Question

I have Durable POA for my mother. Do I need her to sign title to her van if I need to sell it? Also I ned to put my name on the DEED to her Condo?

Answer

Since you already have the POA, you can sign the van title, and also can sign her name to a new deed adding you as a co-owner. You should get an experienced real estate attorney to prepare the deed; I often do this. Just make sure you sign this way: "Mary Smith, by her attorney in fact, John Smith".
