Agency
A Mississippi seller's agent receives a written offer. The seller is in the hospital but capable of making decisions. The agent should:
AHold the offer until the seller is discharged
BPresent the offer to the seller at the hospital (or by secure electronic means) as soon as reasonably possible✓ Correct
CReject the offer on the seller's behalf since they are incapacitated
DHave the seller's adult child review and sign the response
Explanation
The agent has a duty to present all offers promptly. The seller's hospital stay does not eliminate this duty — as long as the seller is competent, the agent should present the offer immediately using whatever means are available (in person, secure email, video call). The agent cannot accept or reject on behalf of a competent principal.
