Laws vary from State to State. The best thing to do, in my opinion, is visit your local Motor Vehicle Agency and ask them. I believe a person has to be incompetent before you can act on their behalf with the Power of Attorney. But I'm not a lawyer. Hope that helps! Jim

Your elderly mother can't drive anymore, but can she sign a signature? That's all that's needed. Or if not, you just forge her signature; this is done frequently. This is just a car sale, it's not like it's a Pentagon contract. Talk to the buyer outside and tell him you have to go into the house for your disabled mother to sign... Out of the buyer's sight.
