Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Which power of attorney form is the right one?
My German friend wants to give me power of attorney to sell his property in the US. A found a Real Estate, Limited Power of Attorney form, would this be the right one, or, is a general poa form enough? I've been told, it has to be notarized by a US Embassy in Germany, which I can't believe, doesn't make sense. A Notary or Lawyer should be enough to notarize, or? Does it need 2 witnesses?

Either form will work, but the real estate poa form is probably the better choice. Since it affects the transfer of real estate, it should have two witnesses.
