This document creates a durable, special power of attorney for the PURCHASE of California real property. A power of attorney is a legal document delegating authority from one person to another. In the document, the maker of the power of attorney (the "principal") grants the right to act on the maker's behalf as that person's Attorney-in-fact.

Attorney-in-fact means a person granted authority to act for the principal in a power of attorney, regardless of whether the person is known as an attorney-in-fact or agent, or by some other term. CA Prob Code 4014(a)

This special power of attorney grants the attorney-in fact the power to execute and deliver on the principal's behalf, name and stead, any in all necessary legal documents including contracts for sale, deeds, mortgages, deeds of trusts, promissory notes, settlement statements, affidavits, and other documents with regard to all matters concerning the PURCHASE of a specific property. It includes a "special instructions" section which can be used to further limit/define the powers given.

This instrument is to be construed and interpreted as a durable power of attorney that takes effect immediately and (this power of attorney shall not be affected by the principal's subsequent incapacity.) CA Prob Code 4124(a)

This Special Power of Attorney is specifically limited to the acts specified within and terminates upon a time frame set by number of days after its execution. For example: Terminates 60 days after execution.

Included are the warning statements required when a power of attorney (is sold or otherwise distributed in this state for use by a person who does not have the advice of legal counsel)
(Notice to Person Executing Durable Power of Attorney)
(Notice to Person Accepting the Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact) CA Prob Code 4128 (b)

(California Special DPOA Purchase Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)

Very pleased. I spent a fair amount of time chasing a blank form only to be told it couldn't be given to me - I had to go through my attorney. Going thru the deeds.com was a breeze; the blank form looked exactly like one I had filed before :-)

Excellent - no reservations. I used them on a Sunday and had my info on Monday. Not only did they execute the order flawlessly, the fixed my screw up* immediately. *I hit refresh before the "secured" page transmitted, so I created (2) two orders of the same item.

Thanks for the review Paul, glad you were happy with the service and staff. Our staff is pretty good at catching the few duplicate orders that get through.

This is my third time using Deeds.com and they don't disappoint. Their customer service is outstanding - absolutely excellent - via messages, I communicated with them immediately and 24/7 - on weekends and at night. I would not even try another service as they provide excellence which is so rare these days.

Needed a Limited Power of Attorney form for a real estate transaction in another state. Proper form came up immediately and was fairly easy to complete. I think the sample completed form should have been more completely explained in layman's language instead of legalese (such as person granting permission instead of grantor or something like your name and address and the person who will be signing on your behalf) but since the form was one price no matter how many ways it was printed out, it was fine. I just filled it out several ways and had it notarized and sent it to my sister. Whichever combination is appropriate she and the lawyer will have. I found the site easy to navigate
