Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Power of Attorney
Hello
I need a Power of Attorney to close down a property we just purchase in Florida. Does the Power of Attorney need to be notarized ?
Thank you

Re: Power of Attorney
In general, a power of attorney can either be notarized OR witnessed by two disinterested witnesses.
However, state laws are not uniform nor do all parties to whom powers of attorney are presented always understand the law. There is a tendency to respect familiar-looking forms and be suspicious of the unfamiliar.
Therefore, if you can figure out in advance what bank, ecrow holder, business or individual will be asked to honor the power of attorney, find out their preferences and observe them (within reason).

In California, maybe.
