The TREC promulgated forms are only authorized for licensed real estate agents.

Metro area or central Virginia, feel free to send me a private message.Let me know what you think about the D.C.

I've always gotten a signed "authorization to release loan info" from the owner on record. 

As anything will have to be authorized before the sheriff does it.

For instance, lenders in SC can offer a downpayment assistance (and a related first responder/veteran loan) program through SC Housing Authority.

Proc. 2004-51, 2004-2 C.B. 294, that fall on or after the date of a federally declared disaster, are postponed by 120 days or to the last day of the general disaster extension period authorized by an IRS News Release or other guidance announcing tax relief for victims of the specific federally declared disaster, whichever is later.

Oh, and that person is probably authorizing checks from a business account with much deeper pockets than any traveling medical professional.

So passing means as much as the passing of SB10 that last I heard was only authorized by a single jurisdiction.  

Someone must have the authority to sign on behalf of the inherited IRA.  

Based on some research & working with a number of agents and chatting with housing authority I understand there's higher risk.
