In Kansas, a Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA) for the sale of real estate is a legal document that grants a designated person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) the authority to handle specific matters related to the sale of real property on behalf of the principal (the person granting the power). This power can include signing documents, handling transactions, and making decisions related to the sale. However, the statutes and legal requirements can be complex and are subject to change, so it's important to consult a legal professional for the most current and applicable advice.

General guidelines regarding a Limited Power of Attorney for real estate in Kansas:

Written Document: The power of attorney must be in writing. It should clearly state the principal's name, the agent's name, and the specific powers granted.

Durability: This document shall continue in effect during any subsequent disability, incompetency, or incapacity of the principal in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 58-650, et al.,

Acknowledgment: The document typically needs to be signed by the principal and should be notarized. This is particularly important for real estate transactions, as a notarized document is usually required for recording the deed or other documents in county records.
Specificity: Since it is a limited power of attorney, the document should specify exactly what real estate is involved and what powers the agent has regarding the sale of that property. This can include the power to negotiate and accept offers, execute documents, and handle closing procedures.
Recording: In many cases, the power of attorney document must be recorded with the county recorder’s office in the county where the property is located, especially if it will be used for executing deeds or other documents that will be recorded.

Effective and Termination: It is intended that this power of attorney is to become effective immediately upon execution and terminates upon the completion of the sale of the property.

Legal Capacity: The principal must be of sound mind and have the legal capacity to execute the power of attorney at the time it is signed.
Compliance with Other Laws: Ensure that the document complies with other relevant Kansas laws and any specific requirements of the county where the property is located.

The process was easy and cost was reasonable. My only suggestion is to allow user the ability to shorten the space between the county and state and the space after the month. I needed to draw a line at the courthouse before they would file it.

Ease and speed of recording are remarkable. This is especially true of deeds with problems: I often get feedback within minutes and can correct problems immediately and still complete the filing in the same day. I wish more counties accepted electronic filing! It would be helpful to list counties that do/do not accept electronic filing so I would not have to upload documents to find out my effort was fruitless.

At first I didn't trust all the 5 star reviews. So, I contacted lawyers to check their prices. The price being well over one hundred dollars made my mind up. I gave it a go, the form isn't hard and the directions are easy to follow. 5/5
