FLORIDA REAL ESTATE ATTORNEYS
In recent years, changes to Powers of Attorney to convey real estate have changed. While prior to the change, a general power of attorney could be used to convey property, today in Florida, the statute makes certain requirements.
A power of attorney to convey property in Florida must have:
- Legal Description of the property for which the Power of Attorney will be used
- Signed by Grantor
- Two Witnesses
- One Notary
- Conveyance language
If any of these items are missing, then the Power of Attorney may not be used at closing. If a deed is signed and the Power of Attorney is then found to be invalid as against the requirements of the statute, then the conveyance can be reversed or deemed null and void.
