This document creates a durable, special power of attorney for the sale of California real estate. 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, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents, and to do any and all things on behalf of the principal, including, but not limited to, the execution of deeds, notes, mortgages, deeds of trusts, personal guarantees and any other instrument or agreement of any kind or nature whatsoever in connection therewith, and affecting the SALE of a described real property. It includes a "special instructions" section which can be used to further limit or 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 immediately upon the satisfactory closing of the identified property.
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)

Sign up was rocky. Tried to access documents and msg. said did not recognize my email (even though it had sent me an email). Contacted support and it was resolved. House transfer affidavit straight forward and easy to fill out.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

PROS: Quick communication. Completed the task expediently. CONS: Deciphering what was being referred to on the website when needing the proper classification wasn't clear. Had to delve through your unfamiliar territory. But managed. OVERALL: Got the job done swiftly and the end result was satisfactory. Will use again.
Thank you!

If my availability does not coincide with your business hours it should not prevent me from uploading my documents and making payment. You should allow people to upload their documents at any time with the understanding that you will process them on your next business day.

The release of mortgage form was OK, and accepted at the recorder's office, but there were some problems. Many of the fields to type in were too small to accept the data, and I could not find a way to change the field size or use a smaller font. Otherwise I was satisfied.
Your feedback is a crucial part of our dedication to ongoing improvement. Thank you for your insightful comments.

First the convenience to get forms without going or calling Recorder's office is outstanding. Suggest that Recorder's staff be able to guide or assist users in filling up the forms.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Customer service was poor. I felt like I had to debate the representative to provide guidance and assistance. They acted as though I knew the process, the documents involved, etc. At the same time, they asked me to confirm which documents or at least pages needed to be filed. I was leaning of Deeds.com for their expertise.
Thank you!
