Re: power of attorney

As your mother's agent you have a fiduciary duty to her. A POA is a document that makes the person name the agent of the person signing the POA.

What you're going to be doing is executing a new deed. From you mom to your mom and you. Not a good idea. It gives the appearance you violated your fiduciary duty. Besides if you were to inherit the house you'd get a better tax break.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
