easement signed by unauthorized person (revised question)
What is the name of your state? wa
Ok. Small words, short sentences. A couple files for an undisputed divorce. The Husband is eager to sell land, and does not want to wait until the divorce was final. The couple then gave limited power of attorney to each other. Husband was authorized to sign estranged wifes name as POA for only the named parcels he was to receive in the divorce. Wife got same authorizetion to sign estranged Husbands name to documents concerning any parcels she was to receive in divorce. This limited POA states it ends when the divorce is final. The limited power of attorney stated that no other parcel other than those named were covered by the document, for each of them. Wife received Block 31 and 1/2 of Block 32, and Husband received Block 33, 20, 21 in the divorce. Between the time the POA's were authorized, and the divorce was final, the Husband signed the estranged wifes name as POA on an easement agreement across Blocks 31, 32, 33, 20, and 21. Since Husband did not have the authority to sign Wifes name as POA on any document concerning the property going to her in the divorce, is the easement agreement invalid and unenforceable?
