Also, can I make my own Power of Atty to someone by tying & forming it by an old one & then having it notarized?

When the deed is signed and delivered to the person receiving the real estate.
There is no requirement for a deed to be recorded, ever, but you are at risk if it is not recorded. There are important legal benefits to recording the deed . But it is not a requirement for transfer of the property.
You can create your own power of attorney, but there is no way of knowing if the situations will be actually the same.
