Attorney is, tell them Phillip C. Price.

828-633-2374www.phillippricelaw.com

Get answers to legal questions about real estate ...Email your questions to [email protected] and we’ll get a real real estate attorney to answer them. Seriously.

the question:If you have two sisters who have co-equal unlimited power of attorney rights for their Mother, who is into Alzheimer’s and lives in an assisted living facility, can either sister sell the Mother’s home while she is alive without the other sister’s approval? This is a case of classic sibling rivalry. Can one sister unilaterally sell Mom’s home without the other sister approving the sale? The power of attorney reads “and” between the two sisters names as opposed to “or.” Don’t know if this makes any difference.

the answer:Two things here: The wording of the Power Attorney is important. I and any other attorney would of course want to review the document before giving an opinion, but given the facts as stated here, if the document requires both principals to join in the execution of a docu-ment in order to exercise the authorities granted in the Power of Attorney then there you have your answer. If the document is silent on that and just contains the word ìandî between the two sisters names it would seem that both may be required. The other part of this issue is that if a closing attorney is aware of a disagreement between two appointed principals he or she will likely not be willing to rely on just the signature of only one and most assuredly the title company the closing attorney is working with would not be willing to extend them-selves if there is a known disagreement regarding the Power of Attorney. It will likely take the two principals reaching a mutual agreement to allow the transaction to proceed.

(StatePoint) Whether you work full-time from home, or you simply have a space dedi-cated to paying bills and keeping your life in order, a home office should inspire productiv-ity and happiness.

After all, you’ll do your best work if you actu-ally want to spend time in your workspace. Here, four business bloggers share their tips for home office success.

Invest a Few Dollars“The easiest way to start feeling more like a professional and less like an imposter is to invest in your home office,” says Cassie Boorn, guest blogger for Handmade Success, and the woman behind Maker Mentors, a free community designed to help creative entrepreneurs build business. “But there’s no need to spend thousands of dollars to create a great workspace. It can be as simple as a quick trip to Staples and done with a budget as small as twenty-five dollars.”

EvolveAs your business evolves and grows, be will-ing to make changes to your workspace.

“The way I’ve been running my ‘business’ is from the perspective of a hustling freelancer. I was working a lot but there was no meth-od to the madness. I had no structure,” says Vicky Ayala, brand strategist.

She recommends creating a workspace both at home and on-the-go that complements

what you want your business to be, paying attention to details. In her case, she equipped herself with supplies that fit the way she works -- a binding machine for customer handouts, a tablet and a briefcase that con-verts into a backpack.

“Sometimes it’s the small things that help remind us of the bigger picture.”

Keep Goals in Focus“Have your plan in plain sight for constant review and reminders. Without it, it’s too easy to fall back into old routines and unproduc-tive habits,” says Lisa Jacobs, a marketing consultant to small businesses and the blog-ger behind Marketing Creativity.

Jacobs sets and tracks goals religiously by keeping a wall planner mounted in her home

office. She used the copy and print services at Staples to bring her own planner calendar design into reality.

The Brass Tacks“One thing that I have learned about myself over the years is that I perform at my best when I have an environment free of clutter. That means no extra stuff on my desk, on my walls or in my office,” says Andreea Ayers, the entrepreneur behind Launch Grow Joy, a business that helps entrepreneurs elevate sales.

To beat the clutter, Ayers advises sticking to your essentials and thinking about multipur-pose equipment that saves space. Her short list includes a stackable desk tray to sort and contain files, and a laser printer/scanner/copi-er that can do it all.

Home improvements to help sell your home(StatePoint) While certain home upgrades provide obvious aesthetic enhancements, it’s important to ensure the projects are worth the expense.

The following three home improvements provide especially impressive returns on their respective investments, making them excel-lent choices to consider with an eye on sell-ing your home.

Bath and KitchenBathroom and kitchen renovations are great bets, according to the National Association of Realtors. However, ripping out these rooms and building them completely anew is an extreme expense that might not give you an immediate investment return.

Instead, check out refinishing services, whose work can provide more value than a full replacement. For example, Miracle Method takes ugly bathtubs, countertops, faucets and other fittings, and refurbishes them to look newly installed. This service will increase the useful life of those fixtures by more than 15 years, at a fraction of the cost and time of a replacement.

In fact, company president, Chuck Pistor, started out as a very satisfied customer of this franchise. When he realized how efficient and economical the concept was for homeowners, he bought the company.

Wash Your WindowsNewly washed windows can make a huge impression on potential homebuyers.

“The difference in the light streaming in, and the overall impression of the home after a professional window cleaning, is amazing,” says Rik Nonelle, president of Window Genie, a well-known window cleaning and window tinting franchise.

Reaching those upper level windows for a good exterior cleaning can be tricky and dan-gerous to DIY, however. For a more detailed and precise job, consider using a professional service; it’s an affordable way to give your home a facelift.

New FloorsNew floors, particularly the latest in engi-neered flooring, are high in demand among

potential home buyers. It’s no wonder; since engineered flooring is comprised of wood layers stacked cross-grain and bond-ed together under heat and pressure -- a process that makes them stain resistant and more durable where pets’ claws and chil-dren’s toys are concerned

“Today’s engineered floors have the beauty and durability of wood, and are available in every color and style you can walk upon,” says Tom Wood, president of the popular mobile franchise concept, Floor Coverings International. “Investing in new flooring can dramatically increase the resale value of your home.”

Neutral tones, such as pale gray or a dark walnut stain will make the home-selling pro-cess easier.

Affordable home improvement franchises and cleaning services that offer great value abound. For those planning to sell their homes in the near future, considering each project’s return on investment is important when choosing which home upgrades to make.

(StatePoint) The great outdoors do not hibernate in the cooler months, and neither should you. To be well-equipped for safe and fun outdoor adventures, consider the following.

Stay WarmDon’t ignore your comfort or health when hitting the trail or pushing off from shore. Your regular weight cloth-ing may not provide sufficient ther-mal protection, depending on your surroundings. Look for outerwear designed for the temperatures and wind-chill you will be encountering.

Keep in mind that it can be chillier on the water. If you are pitching a camp, check the tag of your sleeping bag for its specifications. A sports retailer will offer high-quality gear for proper pro-tection against wind and low tempera-tures.

Keep TimeWhether you are hiking, fishing or rap-pelling, stay one step ahead of Mother Nature with information.

“Your cell phone may not be working well enough to give you the hour or your location -- which is important to know when you are wondering wheth-er it’s time to head back home,” says Landon R. Mayer, a fly fishing guide and author. “However, a tough solar powered timepiece that’s both rugged and resistant to low temperatures will keep you up-to-date.”

If you will be spending time getting your hands wet, consider a 200 meter water resistant device like the Casio PRO TREK PRW3500 or the slim, 100 meter water resistant PRG300. Both watches are equipped with Triple Sensor Version 3 technology which delivers altitude, barometric pressure and direction readings, in addition to

tough solar power. More information can be found at www.PROTREK.Casio.com.

Stay HydratedIt may be cool, but that doesn’t mean your risk for dehydration disappears. When you are active, you need to replenish your body with fluids to stay healthy.

Pack more than enough water for the length of your journey. Likewise, stock up on nutritionally dense snacks to fuel your efforts.

Tell SomeoneAlways let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return home. If you are visiting a park, talk to a ranger upon arrival for advice on the best vantage points for fishing and the best things to see and do. It’s never a bad idea to have a ranger know your location.

Enjoy winter outdoor adventures
