FAQ
General Power of Attorney. Durable Power of Attorney. Special or Limited Power of Attorney. Springing Durable Power of Attorney.
The durable power of attorney is almost always required. This instrument gives another person specific powers to sign for an individual in a real estate transaction where the exact name and description of the property is stated in the document.
Name, signature, and address of the principal. Name, signature, and address of the agent. Properties and activities under the authority of the agent. Date of effect and termination of authority. Compensation to services of the agent.
The non-durable power of attorney is used only for a set period of time and usually for a particular transaction in which you grant your agent authority to act on your behalf. Once the transaction is completed, or should the principal become incapacitated during this time, the non-durable power of attorney ceases.
Remember that all of the authorized agents under the power of attorney or representatives in an estate must sign the listing agreement, disclosure documents, etc. For example, when there are two executors in an estate, then they both must sign the Listing Contract.
What's the difference between durable and general power of attorney? A general power of attorney ends the moment you become incapacitated.A durable power of attorney stays effective until the principle dies or until they act to revoke the power they've granted to their agent.
Step 1: Bring Your Power of Attorney Agreement and ID. Step 2: Determine the Preferred Signature Format. Step 3: Sign as the Principal. Step 4: Sign Your Own Name. Step 5: Express Your Authority as Attorney-in-Fact. Step 6: File the Documentation Somewhere Safe.
