If the Seller is unable to attend closing, we can prepare a Power of Attorney (POA). Please let us know as soon as possible if a POA is required as we will need to get it drafted and executed in advance of closing. We will provide you with the POA and specific execution instructions. Please note there is a $200 fee for POA preparation and recording. For those who already have a general or durable POA, please send it to us for review, but note that many of these POAs do not comply with Florida Real Estate Power of Attorney requirements and it is always best to have our office prepare a specific POA. The original POA must be brought to closing as it will need to be recorded.
