Elderly reverse mortgage borrower has been under Power of Attorney since 1991. Original ink-signed POA document has been misplaced. Daughter (attorney) doesn't have it, either. Lawyer who drew up the POA all those years ago signed a notarized affidavit as to the authenticity of the copy of the POA but title company says, "No original ink-signed POA, no title policy." What might be a get-around for this problem? Elderly borrower no longer has capacity to sign a new POA. I don't know which title company they're dealing with, but would another title company be less dogmatic about this issue? Can an extra bond be purchased to cover just this issue? http://www.foreclosureforum.com/board/read.php?2,1717,1717#msg-1717 Tue, 16 Jun 2026 20:47:02 -0700 Phorum 5.2.15a http://www.foreclosureforum.com/board/read.php?2,1717,1719#msg-1719 http://www.foreclosureforum.com/board/read.php?2,1717,1719#msg-1719 CCinOC Foreclosure Forum Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:28:27 -0700 http://www.foreclosureforum.com/board/read.php?2,1717,1718#msg-1718 http://www.foreclosureforum.com/board/read.php?2,1717,1718#msg-1718
Check to see if a close, concerned relative would go thru the hassle of getting an attorney to pursue a court-appointed conservatorship for them to handle the incapacitated owner's financial affairs. Once they're a conservator they can legally contract with you concerning the property.]]> Ward-CA Foreclosure Forum Tue, 13 Oct 2015 23:44:24 -0700 http://www.foreclosureforum.com/board/read.php?2,1717,1717#msg-1717 http://www.foreclosureforum.com/board/read.php?2,1717,1717#msg-1717 copy of the POA but title company says, "No original ink-signed POA, no title policy."
