Re: Power of Attorney
I cannot advise of the law in New Jersey. Generally a lender will dictate the requirements as to whether a power of attorney will be acceptable. Usually, the lender wants original (as compared to signature by power of attorney signatures on the conveyance documents. Check with the lender and your attorney. A solution would be to have the appropriate documents prepared and executed by your spouse in advance of the closing and you execute them at the closing.
