Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
My mother is dying of cancer and very incoherent because of the medication. How do I become her power of attorney? I am already her health care sarrogate. She has property that needs to be sold, can I sell it for her?

If she no longer has the mental capacity to grant you power of attorney, then you cannot.

Too late. You would have to have her declared incapacitated by the court and be appointed her guardian. Then you may petition the court for permission to sell the property. You would need an attorney.
