Overview of this form

The Special or Limited Power of Attorney for Real Estate Sales Transaction By Seller allows a seller to appoint an attorney-in-fact to handle the sale of a specific parcel of real estate. This form enables the agent to execute necessary documents on the seller's behalf, ensuring a smooth transaction process.
