Can someone sell my house for me with a power of attorney in Saskatoon?

Yes. A valid power of attorney lets the person you named sign the listing agreement, accept an offer and complete closing on your behalf in Saskatchewan, provided the document specifically grants authority over real property and your lawyer confirms it before the file opens.

The Law Society of Saskatchewan requires the lawyer closing the sale to review the power of attorney document itself, not just take your word that one exists, and legal fees for that review typically run $800 to $1,500 as part of the standard closing cost.

This comes up most often for a family selling on behalf of an aging or absent parent, and it is worth setting up before a health event forces the issue, since a power of attorney signed after someone loses capacity is not valid.

Joel Dyck works directly with the person named in the power of attorney and the family's lawyer so the sale proceeds without the owner needing to be present. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
