This document creates (under the Florida Power of Attorney Act (Florida statute 709.2101 - 709.2402)) a durable, limited power of attorney for 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 agent.

The document is specific to real estate (real property), and includes a section to included "specific instructions" to further limit the powers given.

This power of attorney must be signed by the principal and by two witnesses to the principal's signature, and a notary must acknowledge the principal's signature for the power of attorney to be properly executed and valid under Florida law.

Also included is an Affidavit and Acknowledgment of the agent.

This is a LIMITED power of attorney. What is a limited power of attorney? A "limited power of attorney" gives the agent authority to conduct a specific act. For example, a person might use a limited power of attorney to sell a home in another state by delegating authority to another person to handle the transaction locally. Such a power could be "limited" to selling the home or to other specified acts.
