Selling a House Under a Power of Attorney in Connecticut
A parent moved to care, and you hold the power of attorney. Here is what a Connecticut closing needs from you, and how CT MAX makes the sale simple.

Start with the address. A CT MAX buyer calls you back, and your written number follows the walk-through.
What the document must allow
The power of attorney has to give authority over real estate. Connecticut’s current law, the Uniform Power of Attorney Act, covers real property when the document grants it. The closing attorney will review the original and usually records it on the town land records with the deed.
Things that trip people up
- The principal has died. A power of attorney ends at death. From then on, the estate goes through probate.
- Copies only. Title companies generally want the signed original or a certified copy.
- Conflicts of interest. If the agent is also buying or benefiting, expect extra scrutiny.
- Medicaid planning. Sale money can affect eligibility. Talk to an elder law attorney first.
Where CT MAX fits
We buy the house as it stands, contents and all, on the date that fits the care plan. You do not have to empty it, repair it, or keep it show-ready while managing a parent’s move.
Common questions
Can I sign for my parent if they can still sign?
Yes, if the document is in effect. Some families still have the parent sign.
What if my parent can no longer make decisions and there is no power of attorney?
A probate court conservatorship may be needed. Talk to an attorney.
Do I need to clear out the house?
No.
