Thank you so much for all of this!
I went back to clarify a few things but it was too late to edit.
You're correct about everything.
The only thing I wasn't clear about was if a seller sells to a family member, that family member would simply xfer the deed back to them at the same price and then he could sell it at the higher price later.
That's not the case here, as you say, as it WAS their previous IN residence that is at issue. My bad!
I'd found the sale, from a year ago, on a RE site but now I see it was the
sale/xfer from both Morphews back to both Morphews (??).
And yes, I misspoke when I stated POA instead of guardianship. I need to shut up! The more I learn the more I smh (at myself!).
Excellent info,
@al66pine, thanks again for going to such trouble!
Much appreciated.
