My father is in a nursing home and will definetly not be returning home. I am operating his affairs under a full enduring power of attorney.

I am starting to look at the options to sell the now empty family home and I wanted to know if there are special considerations I need to follow during a house sale in these circumstances.

I have had a quick chat with a solicitor friend and they said there was nothing needed up front and we should get on with finding a seller for the house, engaging solicitors at the right time and they would handle everything needed at that time.

Does anyone have any information on what might be needed? Would I need to setup a special bank account for the proceeds, follow any special EPOA processes ?

Thanks,
