I have POA and in trying to do right by my dad because he asks for his car everyday. My dad is really sick and I don't/can't sell his assets because he's still alive, saud eldercare attorney. Just trying to see what to do with his car. I can't let it sit on a city street, it would be impounded. No other person is on his car insurance policy. I take him to all his doc appointments in my car.
You should likely look into garage rental or storage for this car if it doesn't get driven.
What you cannot do is sell the car and pocket the money yourself .
What I believe you can do is sell the car, and add the money to savings which is used towards your dad's care .
You have a lot of power as POA and if you dont think your dad is ever going to drive again and need this car, then per my understanding, you could decide to sell it to free up the money for your dad's care.
As to whether you can drive it right now - why do you need to?
my dads car is garaged now. I stopped paying his insurance. Soon the registration will run out. Then soon I plan to sell it off.
Also, if he's very elderly he's probably paying a high premium for insurance. If you're legally able, sell it and cancel his insurance. Then reimburse yourself for miles drive from his assets but keep a very detailed log, gas receipts, etc. There are apps that can do this.
FYI you should be in possession of the original copy of the PoA doc, not the attorney. YOU need to know what it says and understand what it empowers you to do.
However, selling the vehicle should be your best option overall. I can see how the POA does not give you this authority. You can put the insurance in your name without transferring the title, thus if it is still drivable, you can drive it.
