Death of owner... AMHR registration question

[disneyhorse]

Here is the situation:

Husband and wife have a lot of registered horses. Wife is in nursing home in very very poor health, husband passes away.

Horses are registered as just the wife, some are wife AND husband, some are wife AND/OR husband.

Son is liquidating the herd and allows a family friend to help sell horses. Gives stack of papers to friend.

I am wondering how any buyers can expect transfers to get signed in this situation?

I would think the person who is executor of the estate or have power of attorney would be able to sign.

Call the registries.

I have been in this situation before... being sold a miniature from a Death/Estate situation. It was the POA power of attorney who had the authority to sign the transfer.

In my (non-horse related) profession, I used to deal a lot with POAs. As such, it's my understanding that a POA ceases upon death of the individual. At that point, the executor of the estate would be the respobsible party. It can get very complicated and I agree that a call to the registries is in order.
