Shell Bell Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hi, just looking for some information for a friend. My friend returned to the UK with her husband for a holiday, however due to ill health my friend has decided to stay in the UK as she could not make the journey back. Her husband has since returned to WA to sell their house etc. We thought that a power of attorney drawn up in the UK would suffice. However, now we are unsure? Does anyone know what legal documents her husband will need to sell their property in her absence, taking into consideration that she is too ill to travel back to Oz? Thanks.

Alan Collett Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Most probably a Power of Attorney => discuss with a solicitor in WA. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuffythetugboat Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 We sold a house in NSW without any legal problems after my wife had moved back to live in the UK. We sold a house in WA without any problems after we both had moved back to live in the UK. Ownership of a house is like a will, related to the person, not where the person lives providing that the purchase was done legally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I sold a property whilst living overseas no problem whatsoever, signed stuff and posted it back, very very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
