Halt Property Sale Process
Summary
As a remainderman in Idaho, you may halt a property sale if no written contract exists. Verbal agreements can be binding but are harder to enforce. Ensure all parties interests are protected and consult an attorney for guidance. If your sister, as a potential power of attorney, is benefiting personally, it may be a conflict of interest. Document all communications, request POA documentation, and consider involving a third party to monitor your mothers well-being.Full Conversation
I am the remainderman and my mother is the primary. As far as I can tell, my sister has power of attorney. The house my mother lives in is currently in the process of being purchased. I initiated the sale when my sister told me to. However, my sister is wanting money from the sale (it is a life estate, so my mother would be allowed to have a portion), but my mother has constantly said she does not want any money. A couple weeks ago, my mother moved in with my sister and now the sister says we have to give her a percentage of the sale. My mother now agrees, but she has just changed her answer since moving in with my sister. My sister wants the money to build a house on her own property to house my mother. This sends up flags for us and we are currently trying to get an attorney. There is a showing on the house tomorrow, but I want to know if I can halt the sale and cancel the showing tomorrow. Am I legally allowed to do this as remainderman who did initiate the sale when told to.
Hi ****,
To provide you with accurate information, could you please confirm whether there is a written agreement or contract regarding the sale of the house? This will help determine your legal options to halt the sale.

We agreed on a price over the phone and he has someone filling out the paperwork on it.
Hi ****,
Thank you for the details. In Idaho, as the remainderman, your ability to halt the sale may depend on whether there's a binding contract in place. Here are some points to consider:
- Verbal agreements can be binding but are harder to enforce.
- If no written contract is signed, you may have the right to halt the sale.
- Consult an attorney for personalized advice.

The law offices are closed and the house is two hours away. Is there anything I can for sure legally do? Can I suspend the sale legally? There has been no signatures on our side. the buyer has wanted this house and property because he owns all the land around it. I just don't want to get in trouble with him or anyone. We have contacted an attorney and are waiting for them to reply, but the showing of the house is tomorrow and that is a Saturday.
Hi ****,
Given that no signatures are in place, it's likely you can halt the sale. Here are some steps you can consider:
- Inform the buyer immediately of your intention to halt the sale.
- Document your communication to ensure there's a record.
- Await guidance from your attorney for a more definitive action plan.
Would you like guidance on how to formally communicate this halt to the buyer?

Is this going to clear the price we agreed upon though?
Hi ****,
The email template provided is intended to inform the buyer that you are halting the sale, not to renegotiate the price. If you wish to keep the agreed price, you can clarify that in the follow-up communication once any issues are resolved.
Would you like to add a note about the agreed price in the email template?

I guess the phrase "halting the sale" is concerning me. Is there a way to suspend it?

You can use the term "suspend" instead of "halt" if it feels more appropriate. Here's an updated template:

So, becuase he wants this property, he may likely be okay with suspending it on the agreed upon price?
Hi ****,
It's possible that the buyer may be agreeable to suspending the sale while retaining the agreed-upon price, especially if he is highly interested in the property. To improve communication, you may want to discuss this directly with him:
- Clearly state your intention to suspend the sale temporarily.
- Reaffirm the agreed-upon price, emphasizing your commitment.
- Communicate any necessary steps or timelines for resuming the sale once issues are resolved.

Hi ****,
Your concern is understandable. Here's a suggested approach:
- Clearly inform the buyer that the suspension is temporary due to unforeseen circumstances.
- Emphasize your commitment to the agreed-upon price.
- Explain that the timeline is uncertain and depends on resolving the current issues.

Hi ****,
It's not necessary to include the agreed-upon price in parentheses. You can simply state that you remain committed to the agreed-upon price without specifying the amount. This maintains clarity and avoids any potential confusion.
Would you like any further adjustments to the template?

Okay that covers the buyer. How do I tell my sister, the probably power of attorney and can she do anything to force the sale?
Hi ****,
To address the situation with your sister and her potential power of attorney:
*. **Understand her authority**: Verify if your sister has a legally executed power of attorney (POA) document.
*. **Communicate clearly**: Inform her of your decision to suspend the sale due to the current uncertainties.
*. **Legal consultation**: Consult with your attorney to confirm if the POA grants her the authority to force the sale.

She has stated in a text that the lawyer said we all had to be at the signing. Does that mean she cannot sell it without me?
Hi ****,
Based on the information you provided, if the lawyer indicated that all parties need to be present at the signing, it likely means that your sister cannot complete the sale without your participation and consent. Here are some points to consider:
- **Power of Attorney Limitations**: Verify the specific powers granted to your sister under the POA.
- **Legal Requirements**: Idaho law may require all interested parties to sign for a sale to be valid.
- **Legal Advice**: Consult with your attorney to confirm these details and ensure your rights are protected.

Can she take any legal action against me since she wants to break ground on that house soon?
Hi ****,
In Idaho, your sister's ability to take legal action against you will depend on several factors, including the specifics of the power of attorney and any agreements in place. Here are some key points to consider:
- **Power of Attorney Scope**: Verify if her POA grants her authority to force the sale.
- **Family Agreement**: If there's no written agreement, her ability to compel the sale may be limited.
- **Legal Consultation**: Your attorney can provide specific advice based on your situation.

Hi ****,
If your sister refuses to disclose the specifics of her power of attorney (POA), here are some steps you can take:
- **Request Documentation**: Formally request a copy of the POA document.
- **Check Public Records**: Some POA documents might be recorded with local authorities.
- **Continue Legal Efforts**: Keep trying to reach your attorney for advice.

Subject: Notice of Intent to Temporarily Suspend Property Sale
Dear [Buyer's Name],
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inform you that, due to unforeseen circumstances, I have decided to temporarily suspend the sale of the property located at [Property Address].
While we had discussed the sale terms verbally, no formal agreement or contract has been signed on our side. Given the current situation, it is necessary to pause the process until further notice.
Please note that despite the suspension, I remain committed to the agreed-upon price. The timeline for resuming the sale is uncertain at this moment and depends on resolving the current issues.
I will follow up with a formal notice via certified mail on the next business day. I appreciate your understanding and patience in this matter.
Best regards,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inform you that, due to recent developments, I have decided to temporarily suspend the sale of the property located at [Property Address]. This decision is necessary to address the current uncertainties and ensure all parties' interests are protected.
Additionally, I would like to clarify the extent of your authority under the power of attorney.

Having a clear understanding of the POA's scope will help us navigate the current situation more effectively. Please provide this documentation at your earliest convenience.
I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

Can she then force my mother to change the will or the deed or anything like that in retaliation?
Hi ****,
In Idaho, whether your sister can force your mother to change the will or deed depends on several factors, including the specifics of the power of attorney (POA) and your mother's mental capacity. Here are some key points:
- **Power of Attorney Limitations**: A POA may grant authority over financial and property matters but does not typically include the power to change a will.
- **Mental Capacity**: Your mother must have the mental capacity to make changes to her will or deed.
- **Undue Influence**: If changes are made under pressure or manipulation, they can be legally contested.
Consult your attorney to understand your legal rights and options.

But is that protection enough to not get removed from the ownership of the house? We do have the ownership deed with the life estate listed

To further protect your rights:

Okay, and we contacted an attorney, but I want to know if we have legal ground. Mom has always verbally said she wanted none of the money. She moved in with my sister about two weeks ago and now says she wants some money. This was after my sister contacted me and stated that Mom would get a certain amount from the sale. My sister will use that money to build a house on her property. We have concerns because she has already received her portion of the estate including the land she is planning on building the house on. We feel that because the house was supposed to go to us, and Mom has constantly said she doesn't want money, my sister should pay for the house herself. If she is POA as we suspect, isn't this a conflict of interest? Even if she builds a house for Mom to live in? She is benefitting off of the sale and we are losing out. The original plan was to move into the house, but we do not live close enough to do that
Hi ****,
Based on the information you provided, here are some important points to consider regarding your situation in Idaho:
*. **Power of Attorney (POA) Conflict of Interest**:
- A POA must act in the best interests of the principal (your mother). If your sister, as POA, is personally benefiting from decisions she makes, this could be considered a conflict of interest.
*. **Life Estate and Remainderman Rights**:
- Your mother has the right to use the property during her lifetime, and you, as the remainderman, have the right to inherit the property upon her passing.
- Any sale of the property typically requires consent from both the life tenant (your mother) and the remainderman (you).
*. **Changes in Verbal Agreements**:
- Verbal agreements can be difficult to enforce. If your mother's stance has changed after moving in with your sister, it may be worth investigating if there was any undue influence.
*. **Legal Grounds**:
- If your sister is using her position as POA to benefit personally, this may be challenged legally as a breach of her fiduciary duty.
- You may have grounds to contest any actions that appear to benefit your
