Hello all. Want to get a feel for what everyone thinks about this situation. Seems fairly trivial but still irks me somehow.
We are in the process of selling my father's property. He is 90 and lives with myself now. He is mentally sharp and gets around well but has some heath issues that place him at high risk if he contracts covid. With this in mind he wanted me to act as his agent at closing. The closing attorney drafted a transaction specific POA witch we have signed. None of this bothered me and I understand is quite common.
What I take issue with is the pre-closer demanded she speak with him prior to drafting the POA and also must speak to him the day of closing to make sure he is alive and well. Is this normal? I have acted as an agent in other real estate transactions and have never had this happen, the subject of age never even came up. It just seems wrong to me- he has signed the proper legal documents that make me his agent yet still need to talk to him. At that point is it really their business? Perhaps I am overreacting.
