Q: My father wants me to be the Internediator/power of attorney of the apartment he bought in prague, what are my risk?
My father recently bought some apartments in Prague czech republic, I live in the USA and he plans on renting them and moving back and forth to the USA every 6 months or so. The rental agent/company he will hire to manage his properties recommended he use a family member as a intermediator so he can sublease as they say if a person is a sub lessor you can get them out immediately if they don't pay rent whereas if they are the direct renter on a lease,it could take up to 6 months to evict them. I'm told I don't have to do anything except sign as a power of attorney and that the property management will take care of everything. I have the forms, which are in english, but I really don't understand what type of risk I have if I sign the papers. Will I be responsible for the apartments or any other issues. I want to help out my father but also don't want to do something that will put any legal issues on to me. Can anyone offer advice? Thanks
A: It seems that the advice you need is about your responsibilities under Czech law. I haven't seen any Czech lawyers on Justia. If you are asking for your duties under US law, you should have a US lawyer read the agreement and advise.
