Use this power of attorney to appoint an agent to act on your behalf. The agent's powers follow IC 30-5-5-2 (Real property transactions) and are further limited by specifying a sole purpose to purchase, sell or refinance a specific property. The agent's powers can be further limited or defined in a "Special Instructions" section of the form. This POA terminates upon the satisfactory closing or upon a certain number of days (which you provide) after its execution, whichever happens first.
