Question

Mrs. O'Leary hired Jenna to sell her house in Michigan. She executed a power of attorney in favor of Jenna authorizing her to do "anything and everything associated with the sale of real estate, acting as a prudent person." On May 30, Jenna finalized a deal with Brandon for the purchase of the house. Brandon and Jenna signed the real estate contract that day. Jenna learned the next day that Mrs. O'Leary had died May 29

a. The contract is void since the agency terminated May
29.b.The contract is valid since the agency’s purpose was achieved before Jenna was notified of Mrs. O'Leary's death.
c.The contract is voidable at the option of Mrs. O'Leary's estate.
d.The contract is voidable at the option of Brandon.

Answer 1

for me, the best option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In my opinion the best option is B because it says that Mrs. O'Leary executed a power of attorney in favor of Jenna authorizing her to do "anything and everything associated with the sale of real estate, acting as a prudent person." So, before dying, the power of attorney had been already given.
