Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Ohio

Dear Inquirer: You may do so only if : (1) your Mother is still living, i.e. alive, and (2) in good mental state, i.e. neither committed nor diagnosed with Alzheimers' disease or any other mental impairment.

A Power of Attorney ceases when the maker (signer) is deceased, and/or lacks mental capacity to knowingly and intelligwently make or consent to such document and authorization.

It is strongkly recommended that in any event, you seek the assistance of an Attorney to advise you and to make certain your rights and itnerests are properly protected in such transaction; contact an experienced Attorney. It's good "insurance". Good luck! Sincerely, J. Norman Stark
