I don’t know if you’re talking about a residential sale only, but in commercial property transactions a deed in lieu will usually stand up in court - IF  there is a consideration of substance in exchange.  

While a scan or fax of the POA may be reviewed for substance in preparing for closing, the original gets brought to title before or at the closing.

You are coming from a negotiation point of weakness to a holdout who is like indifferent to your situation and unlikely that your sales skills will convince him to sign, especially if he’s isolated and has substance abuse issues.

Okay met the bug guy today at my complex.He said the problem I have is German cockroaches.Stated tenants have to stay clean or bug problem won't go away and that all tenants have to be clean or bugs will spread to other units in the building.We are going to be doing inspections to the units once a month.If tenants are not keeping clean I will file for eviction on them immediately.Bug company wanted a crazy amount 500 month for 20 units in 5 buildings.What I ended up doing is one building at 100 a month.This building had tenants I just got out and the unit was really bad with roaches.Said one of the worst he has ever seen.The other 4 buildings have no current bug problems that I know of.I know I can buy Boric acid and the gels myself but if you would have seen this unit you would gladly pay the money.Bug guy said after a few months I could save by going quarterly and I can cancel anytime.I also didn't want the liability of putting down pest control substance in tenants apartments and wanted to leave that to the professionals.Any comments appreciated.

Although both the seminar and book did not contain much substance, I also found the book helped shift my frame of reference.

Tenants and guests shall not smoke or vape any substance inside the rental, common areas, or outbuildings.
