If a title for a property establishes an individual as Power of Attorney (POA) in addition to the primary owner's name and the owner becomes deceased, how does that effect the transfer of the property? Does the POA supersede the need for the determination of the heirs and inheritance matters (I.E.-changing the title) OR does the POA only have the authority for the individual to assist in the matter for the sale of the property but must complete all inheritance matters prior? In other words, can the buyer be absolved from inheritance issues of the deceased since the deceased established a 3rd party (POA) on the title? Confusing. Thanks for your response.
