I have Durable Power of Attorney over my father for Real Property Transactions and Tangible Property transactions. Is it okay to sign the quitclaim deed for him? Is your father still mentally competent?

Okay, if his intent and your mother's intent is for you to have the property then you can use the power of attorney to sign on his behalf. You would sign the deed "Father's Name, by Your Name, Attorney in Fact" on the deed in front of a notary. Mom would just sign her name in front of the notary. Then you would record the deed at the local land Records Office to complete the transfer.

Is your father still mentally competent? And if so, does he want to transfer the property over to you?
He is not mentally competent. He has severe dementia and aphasia. He did want me to have the property. My mother can verify that if necessary. The property is in both their names.

I am just a website user like you are so I don't have any way to send you anything through the website. But when I want to save something I typically just copy and paste it into a Word document for future reference. And you should be able to access the conversation thread through your account with the website online for future reference.
Thank you! Appreciate your time today.
