Getanswers answerstotoyour legal questions about realreal estate ...... Get legal questions about estate Email your questions to reweekly@rewnc.com and we’ll get them answered
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 document 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 themselves 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.

Picking a tablet for your kids (StatePoint) Everyone is using technology to stay connected these days -especially kids. Now is a great time to think about getting your kids a device to keep them plugged in and learning at the same time, like their very own tablet computer.
• Safe messaging: Whether they are at daycare, a neighbor’s house or across the country visiting grandparents, a tablet can help kids stay connected to their parents. And thanks to breakthroughs in kid-safe family networking, you can ensure your children are communicating only with people approved by you.
Parents worry mobile technology can be expensive, breakable and give users access to a world of information -- not all of it kidfriendly. But that doesn’t mean you should exclude the next generation from the tech trend, say experts. “Technology can be intimidating for parents who aren’t familiar with the wide array of choices available,” says Dr. Eric Klopfer, Toy Development Consultant and Learning Expert at VTech, a maker of age-appropriate and developmental stage-based electronic learning products for children. “But there are good options out there that can provide safe, fun, innovative, yet age appropriate experiences for young kids – if you know where to look.” Here are some things to consider when looking for new technologies for children:
Preschoolers as young as three years old can emulate their parents and older siblings, allowing them to feel like they are part of the messaging trend by sending text and voice messages to parents’ smartphones, all from a kid-safe, kid-friendly tablet. • Safe browsing: With a kid-safe Web browser, kids won’t be able to access inappropriate content, but can still explore the sites they love through an easy-to-navigate format. • Kid-friendly tablet: A conventional tablet is a delicate, breakable instrument. But a kid-friendly tablet is tough, durable and able to withstand being handled by little ones. It should be made to fit comfortably in little kid hands, so they’ll be more likely to maintain a good grip.
• Educational content: You can give your kids full-time access to great educational content with the right downloads. Look for educator-approved fun and games.

(StatePoint) Your backyard is a space where you enjoy quality time with your family all year long. But accidents can happen anywhere -- even in the oasis of your backyard. For parents, taking extra safety precautions out back should be just as important as childproofing done indoors. To prep and maintain your yard for outdoor safe play and relaxation, here are several important steps: Lawn Remove tree stumps and level concrete footings to avoid tripping. Lawn debris such as rocks could become projectiles when cutting the grass. So be sure to clear the yard. Additionally, children should never be nearby while you’re using motorized equipment. Store potentially dangerous tools, equipment and chemicals completely out of the reach of children, such as in a locked shed or garage. Fencing A yard without a fence is like a house without walls. Fences help protect children from danger, keeping toddlers out of swimming pools, hot tubs, ponds, or away from traffic or strangers. Fences can also improve pet safety, keeping your pets in your yard and other animals out, and can reduce your liability by preventing injuries to uninvited guests on your property.
Family backyard safety tips
With that in mind, be sure your fences and gates are functional and free of rust that can render them useless or dangerous. “Rusty metal gate hardware that no longer functions properly or becomes a threat to
children is a top homeowner concern, according to our research,” says Jim Paterson, senior vice president of D&D Technologies, which manufactures gate latches and hinges. Eliminate this worry by installing high-quality fencing impervious to seasonal weather, ground settling and other factors that can cause gates to become misaligned over time. Opt for gate hardware that can be easily adjusted to function properly over the longterm.
Sun Protection When the sun is bearing down, skin can be susceptible to burns and permanent damage year-round. And children’s skin can be even more sensitive to harmful UV rays. Your yard should have plenty of shady areas to seek respite. Plant trees and watch them grow. Install a canopy. Adorn patio furniture with an umbrella. Your backyard can be one of the most exciting places for your children to play through the entire year. A little prevention along the way will keep it safe and fun.
