Questions answered? Let's get started!

The powers granted to the agent are broad and sweeping, defined in Chapter 32 of the North Carolina Power of Attorney Act, that became effective January 1, 2018.

This POA is effective immediately and is a Durable Power of Attorney, (the incapacity of the principal does not terminate the power of attorney.) A predetermined termination date can be set into this document and/or may be revoked by the principle at any time by providing written notice to the Agent. 32C-1-102 (2)

This POA includes a Substitute Agent in the case the Agent can't or won't act.
1. (The successor agent has the same authority as that granted to the original agent.
2. The successor agent may not act until all predecessor agents have resigned, died, become incapacitated, are no longer qualified to serve, or have declined to serve.) 32C-1-111 (b)

In general, a NC Power of Attorney is NOT required to be recorded unless a real property transfer or a business transaction occurs on behalf of the incapacitate principle. Although recording may not be required it is considered prudent. This form is formatted to meet N.C. recording standards.

(North Carolina DPOA Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example) For use in North Carolina only.

Important: Your property must be located in Polk County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.

Great site. Official. Easy to use. Less expensive than those other sites as well. Saved me approximately $20! My records were available immediately. I highly recommend this site.

I found all the forms I needed to complete a Quit Claim Deed on Deeds.com. All the forms are available for download to fill in on my laptop computer. So far the experience has been very good. My only issue would be that the Quit Claim instructions could be more thorough and easier to understand. I am guessing that the State of New Jersey made up the instructions? Unfortunately this has cost me a huge amount of extra time to parse out EXACTLY the terms I need to write on the Quit Claim Deed form. I haven't started the Tax Forms, but hope they will be more straightforward. In general, I DO recommend Deeds.com!

Thanks for the recommendation, Sharon. We appreciate you flagging the New Jersey instructions, and we'll review them with an eye toward making things clearer and more straightforward. Feedback like yours is how we keep improving.

You form was good the only thing that did not work was the download to fill it out !!! I use a Mac system and maybe that's what the issue was. I filled it out by hand and it worked for the purpose .

Reply from Staff

Thanks for the kind words, Roman. Glad the form worked for you. For the fillable fields, the PDF opens best in a dedicated reader like Preview or Adobe Acrobat rather than inside a browser window, which can sometimes flatten them out. We appreciate your business.

Excellent find (Deeds.com) from a google search, first hit. This was exactly what we were looking for. It also got me to upgrade Adobe to be able to fill in the forms. Will be back for follow up as needed, but I think I got everything we needed in the first downloads. Appreciate a well done site like yours. Thanks John
