How do I get a power of attorney and if I get one does it allow me to execute a quit claim deed ton transfer title of my sick father's home that I am presently taking care of?

Try legalzoom.com

Not only do they have much information, you can get the proper forms and instructions there without the cost of an attorney.

Good Luck.

First of course your father has to be able to know what is going on, and sign the power of attorney paperwork, ** but it is just as easy to let him sign the deed when you sell the property.

But you get paperwork naming you power of attoreny, have him sign it, it will be witnessed and notarised.

If you plan on transferring the title to yourself, I would not do it, since you as power of attorney transferring ( selling) the home to you may have issues. Since to sign power of attorney your father has to be able to sign, just draw up the deed and have him sign the original deed and have a notary there to witness.

Right, if he's competent to sign a P/A he might as well sign the Deed - takes you off the hook if there's a question down the road.
