Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
I am selling my car. The title of the car is in my wife's name. She is neurologically impaired and cannot sign the title. I have power of attorney for her.
Question: Should I sign my name indicating (POA) or can I just sign my wife's name?
I am not sure what area of law the question applies too. I selected property since the question is in reference to a vehicle.

You sign your name, as attorney in fact.
In examining this response, please note that we are not entering into an attorney/client relationship, that this is to be taken as informative, and not as legal advice, that it is always best to speak to a lawyer in your area and/or in the area where the transaction and/or events occurred, and that my answer is necessarily limited by the fact that I have not seen the documentation or had an opportunity to go over the matters with you in detail.
