    No law prohibits a person from owning a car simply because she cannot physically drive,...
    And there can be good reasons for the person to keep the car. For example, after my grandmother was determined to be unable to drive any longer she kept her car for her care assistant (or for me) to use to drive my grandmother to the store, to medical appointments, etc.

    Pennsylvania has vehicle limited power of attorney forms, but it doesn't seem that their use is required. A general POA should suffice, as long as it is witnessed and notarized



    See Section 2. Section 1 refers to POA specifically held by car dealers

    Some would argue that he is in fact carrying out his duty as fiduciary. His mother can't legally drive and we could assume use the money for her care.
    no. He would be carrying out his own wishes against what he knows the principal intends. An agent is obligated to act in a mannner as they know the principal would.

    If your mother doesn't agree with you selling the car, you would be breaching your fiduciary duty as her attorney-in-fact by selling it. That being said, if the POA confers the appropriate authority on you, then you may legally exercise that authority in this way (assuming you can find a buyer willing to engage in a transaction in this manner).
