Accepted Answer

Yes, if the POA specifically authorizes vehicle sales. The agent can sign the Nebraska title on behalf of the owner, complete the bill of sale, and handle the DMV paperwork. The POA should identify the specific vehicle by VIN, year, make, and model. The buyer will need the signed title, bill of sale, and a copy of the POA to complete the transfer at the Nebraska DMV.

Accepted Answer

A Nebraska vehicle POA remains valid until revoked — until the owner revokes it, the owner dies, or the owner becomes incapacitated (unless it is a durable POA). However, some Nebraska DMV offices may question a POA that is more than one year old. For best results, execute the POA as close to the transaction date as possible.
