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 Wake County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.

I like the service, it is hard to see enough of the document to know you're choosing what you need.
Thank you for your feedback. Our previews are intended to show general format and layout. Because these are legal forms, customers should already know the type of document they need before purchasing.

Thanks for advertising the forms and sharing to the public for easy access. I have been looking for a lawyer to process the papers but did not realize that I can do it myself until I googled the information. I found your website. Thanks again
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Great site and staff. I made a mistake and they helped me out when I probably didn't deserve it.
Thanks, Brandon. We were glad to cancel the order and refund your payment. Some property matters need more hands-on guidance than a self-prepared form can offer, and in your situation we’d recommend working with a local real estate attorney or title company going forward. We wish you the best with it.
