Listing Estate Property and Working with Power of Attourneys

In addition to mandatory listing documents, you must provide proof that the individual that is selling the property has the right to do so. You will need a copy of the will or Power of Attorney indicating that the individual can legally sell the property.

FINTRAC is required for all people that are signing.

A note we have received from a lawyer:

If the estate has not received Letters Probate, you must make a note that your clients are signing as proposed executors before listing. The closing date cannot happen until after the Court grants Letters Probate - this could be in the court for a couple of months. If listing prior to Letters Probate, there must be a seller's condition on granting Letters Probate and the possession date should be set for 14 days after Letters Probate are granted.

It's a good idea to have a discussion with your clients on how this may affect the sale of the property.
