You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Florida requires very specific information in a Power of Attorney to sign any instruments regarding real estate. Included is the requirement that it be executed in the same formality as a Florida deed. I would suggest that you have the attorney or closing agent representing you prepare the necessary Power of Attorney.

Re: limited power of attorney

As long as it limited, any valid state form will suffice.
