Rental Agreement After Death

Summary

If a landlord in Idaho dies and the surviving spouse was the sole signatory on the rental agreement, the Power of Attorney (POA) for the incompetent spouse should notify the tenant about the change in landlord. The POA should ensure the rental agreement continues under the name of the incompetent individual. Drafting a new agreement might be necessary to avoid future disputes. For more specific advice, consulting a local attorney is recommended.
