Structuring a Probate Deal
Hello BP community
We came across a highly motivated seller. It’s a probate deal with 7 siblings involved. The mother was on the title along with one of the brothers. The mother passed away a few years ago and the one brother now holds title to the property. The brother who holds title to the property has been mentally handicapped since birth.
We have been in contact with one of the siblings who claims his handicap brother did not appoint a power of attorney, and therefore no one can sign on his behalf.
Is there anyway to search online to see if a power of attorney was legally appointed ?
If no power of attorney was appointed can a guardianship be an option? If so can the guardian be the sole decision maker on the sale of the property or does every sibling need to be involved?
This is a vacant property in need of full rehab. Baltimore city. Any advice would on how to go about this is much appreciated.
