Questions answered? Let's get started!

This is a LIMITED power of attorney for real property. 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 and/or purchase a home in another state by delegating authority to another person to handle the transaction locally. Such a power could be "limited" to selling and/or purchasing a home/property or to other specified acts. This form includes a "Special Instructions" section where the principal can further define or limit the Agent's powers.

When the Agent is authorized to transfer interest in real property by (a power of attorney), it (shall be signed, acknowledged, and certified as provided in section 5301.01 of the Revised Code.) (1337.01)

(No deed executed by a person acting for another, under a power of attorney, acknowledged, and recorded, is invalid or defective because he, instead of his principal, is named in such deed as such attorney as grantor; nor because his name, as such attorney, is subscribed to such deed, instead of the name of his principal; nor because the certificate of acknowledgment, instead of setting forth that the deed was acknowledged by the principal, by his attorney, sets forth that it was acknowledged by the person who executed it, as such attorney. All such deeds shall be as valid and effectual, in all respects, within the authority conferred by such powers of attorney, as if they had been executed by the principals of such attorneys, in person.) (1337.03)

(A power of attorney for the conveyance, mortgage, or lease of an interest in real property must be recorded in the office of the county recorder of the county in which such property is situated, previous to the recording of a deed, mortgage, or lease by virtue of such power of attorney.) (1337.04)

I am an invalid and needed just one quitclaim form. I was able to quickly enter and complete the form. Unfortunately, it will probably be a last hurrah for me..

Your website advertising was somewhat deceptive regarding doing a quitclaim on a name change. "If you are transferring the property to yourself under your new name, all you have to do is update the deed from your former name to your current one." This made this sound easy. But when I downloaded the material for my state, expecting to find an example, there was no example of how to do a name change quitclaim deed! I therefore had to figure this out myself. You might have provided a warning about certain uses that were not covered in the material so that people know ahead of time that the use they needed to know about wasn't covered in the material.

the deed format and fill-in language are very specific to one type of easement and are not generally applicable to any other type; in other words it is not useful in a majority of situations and i would recommend against purchase unless you are creating an easement for an appurtenant landowner ONLY
