Legal Authority & Special Transactions

This section addresses transactions that involve legal authority, capacity, or non-standard ownership structures that require heightened care and verification. Topics include working with executors, trustees, powers of attorney, estate sales, foreclosures, and other specialized scenarios where authority to act must be clearly established before proceeding.

The materials here are intended to help REALTORS® recognize when additional documentation, legal confirmation, or broker involvement is required, and to manage these transactions in a way that reduces risk, protects clients, and ensures compliance with regulatory and contractual obligations.
