If you have a financial POA over a family member and the family member is detained by ICE, will I be able to sell their properties on their behalf so they can free up funds and use the funds to cover legal fees or avoid being delinquent on their mortgages?
Please add anything else you can think of to prepare for unexpected ICE detention. Thank you.

Depends on the terms of the POA. Generally speaking many financial institutions will want a specific power of attorney that authorizes you to sell that property.
In California, if the right boxes are checked on the durable POA form, it would cover this, yes.
That doesn’t mean you aren’t going to have problems with escrow when it comes to it.
