THE HOUSE HASN'T BEEN LIVED IN BY ANY OF US, SO IF THEY GIVE ME A POWER OF ATTORNEY TO SELL THE HOUSE, THEN WE DIVIDE THE MONEY LESS THE TAXES AND INSURANCE ON THE HOUSE THAT I HAVE PAID?

All of you have to split the proceeds. You should be credited for the taxes & insurance you paid & the repairs you made, but that might be offset by the rent you didn't have to pay while living there. The 5 of you should agree to have an arbitrator determine the settlement formulae *before* you sell. Also have them give you power of attorney to sell the place as part of the arbitration settlement. If they don't want to sell or won't agree to the division, you'll have to sue in court to force a partition by sale. You'll need a real estate attorney for this.
