Power of attorney needed?
Anyone have experience with managing rentals for a family member that can no longer manage it themselves? My mother can no longer manage her properties and I have been doing everything besides going to court. I even have a blank 7 day notice signed by her so I can serve the non-payment notices. However she wont follow through when it comes to filing for eviction. I'm sure the tenants are currently laughing as they are throwing away the 7 day notices and reading my texts regarding them paying up or packing up or telling them that we have filed in court. Only to find out weeks later that my mother never went and filed like she promised me she would. This has been going on for months and the tenant now owes 4 month rent plus all the late fees.
Would it be possible to add myself to the leases in addition to my mother as "landlord agent" and then be able to go to court for her?
