Legal Question in Real Estate Law in District of Columbia
Power of Attorney
My father wants to grant me power of attorney for a real estate transaction that he is involved with. I have bought the form that is entitled District of Columbia Limited Power of Attorney for Real Estate Transactions. THe form does not specifically mention the District though. Is this the correct form? Also, once the form has been notorized, what are the next steps. I understand that it has to be there for the settlement, but does it have to be recorded with the District of Columbia? Are there any other steps that have to be taken once the form is notorized?
Thank you.

Re: Power of Attorney
The PA form that you've described should work OK. After settlement the completed form should be taken along with the document(s)to be recorded to the courthouse(land records) where one of the clerks in that section will advise you as to whether it needs to be recorded with the deed.

Supplement to previous answer: The completed POA will need to be recorded with the deed.
