Quit Claim Confusion/Question - HELP!

[Ingrid Bailey]

Out-of state seller wants to sell because they have moved out of state. Having trouble because there's paperwork missing from the original sale 10 years ago (via auction) to seller's mother, then quit claim deed to daughter (current seller) who now has title and pays the taxes. But apparently, the power of attorney for the original seller was not permanently recorded?  Any suggestions for us to help move this sale through? (specific scenario below)

Message from seller says - My mother bought the property from a live auction estate sale held by a auction company about 10 years ago. The auction was selling it for a man who had power of attorney on his mother. I bought it from my mother 5 years ago. Both of our mothers are deceased now. The sale went through just fine 5 years ago. I bought the property from my mom she just quit claim deeded it to me to get it into my name as we had no idea about the power of attorney not being recorded . I called the auction house and one lady there specifically remembers the particular sale and stated they 100 percent had a copy of the power of attorney but do not anymore because after years pass, they no longer have to keep documents.
