Have the escrow company issue three checks in equal sums. No reporting to tax authorities should be necessary, but consult an accountant.

The originals of the Durable Power of Attorney stay in your possession. You do not file them anywhere. You can record them with a county recorder if you intend on affecting a specific piece of property; typically though, if you are selling a piece of real property for another person, for whom you hold the durable power, then title and escrow is going to want to see the original and maybe record it for you when they transfer title to a new buyer, to show the chain of title and you have the power to transfer the title.

How can my mom change title of condominium if it's under her and my brother's name and my brother passed away?

I've never heard of a deed saying "or". The question to ask is HOW is title held. Possibilities include: John and Jane as joint tenants; John and Jane as tenants in common; John and Jane (without any other language). If they were joint tenants, all your mother must do is file an Affidavit of Death of Joint Tenant with certified copy of death certificate and appropriate Change of Ownership Statement. If they were tenants in common, then probate administration may be necessary.
