Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Durable Power of Attorney

I have a durable power of attorney and am now in a position where my husband and I need to sign a legal document relating to our home. We are both listed on the deed for this property and I was wondering if a durable power of attorney would allow me to sign his name on the document considering the fact that he is not available to sign it at the moment. By the way I also need to have this form motarized. Any suggestions on how I would go about this?

Re: Durable Power of Attorney

Usually a Durable POA allows the "attorney in fact" to sign on behalf of the person granting the POA. The question would be why is he not available, and does your durable POA have any limitations built in?

As for the Notary, you can usually get a Notary at any bank, or look in the phone book under Notary Public, or Notary Services.
