DW’s parents are getting on in years, and she is going to help them with their knowledge, by taking over some of their bill paying, etc. Everything will be done (if necessary) with complete transparency and knowledge of all of the siblings.
As part of this, DW went online and bought/printed a state POA for financial affairs.
We are in the process of selling their house, of which DW and I are part owners. When we were ready to sign the listing agreement with the real estate agent, she said that the FPOA was not really usable because it had not been filed with the county government where they now live.
I was not a fan of trying to do a legal thing like this online, but I have tried to stay out of it.
But I am curious if anyone else has tried to do this type of thing without a lawyer, and had to “file” the POA themselves.
It wasn’t a lot to print the form online, and maybe everyone will tell me that it is no big deal to file the documents... but any advice or anecdotes will be appreciated. FWIW, the state involved is North Carolina.
