Here's one for you...

I have a real estate question, and I don’t know where to get the answer except from my FRiends here.
A friend of mine locally lost his mother in December, and the house was to go to the three sons. However, no will has been found, but the daughter of one of the sons wants the youngest, my friend, to sign a piece of paper that says she is his representative, since the house is in MA and he is in Nevada.
The question is this: If he gives her permission to be his representative, is this the same as Power of Attorney? The house is worth $240,000, with a mortgage of $79,000. The other two sons want to sell the house. The niece is not to be trusted, and the son here thinks she wants to be his representative so she can get his share.
Does he need an attorney? Is she really asking for Power of Attorney? (Do I make any sense?)
