Selling Property From Canada

Summary

To sell a property in California while residing in Canada, consider obtaining a Power of Attorney (POA) for legal authority. Ensure the POA complies with California laws and was created when the grantor had mental capacity, especially if Alzheimers is involved. Hire a local real estate agent in California to manage the sale and a real estate lawyer to handle legal documentation. Appointing a trustee is another option for managing the sale. Consult a lawyer to ensure the POA is valid and consider an enduring POA for continued authority if mental capacity declines.
