Hello all want some advice please.
Aunty lived at home alone till last year but then moved reluctantly to residential care.
She has no children but 3 nieces including me. I have power of attorney for finance.
Her house is in a terrible state no maintenance for many years.
We think it needs to be sold but she isn't happy about it. Still seems to believe she will go back. I understand as I have POA I can legally do the sale but it just doesn't feel right. Any advice please?

There are insurance implications if you leave a house empty for more than 30 days too.

Another good reason for saying that she needs to get in professional house guardians because clearly her nieces cannot be expected to take responisbility for this.
