Re: POA over real estate

Technically speaking if your husbands daughter has POA over his real estate then she can act as if she is him and sign his rights away. If the daughter does not have POA for you (the wife) then she can't sign anything for you.

If the daughter has POA for both husband and wife, then she can pretty much do anything she wants. If she has POA for both and you are concerned then you need to discuss revoking her POA.
