This is a Special Power of Attorney in which the first party, Principal authorizes a second Party, Attorney-in-fact, to Sell a certain property on your behalf. In this power of attorney, you are empowering your agent to perform every act necessary and requisite to negotiate, agree to and consummate, on whatever terms your Attorney in Fact deems appropriate, the sale or conveyance, or both, of the real property described. This Power of Attorney (i) shall not be affected by the disability of the principal (ii) shall be governed, as to its validity, terms and enforcement, by those laws of the State of Oregon that apply to instruments negotiated, executed, delivered and performed solely within the State of Oregon, and (iii) may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall have the same effect as if it were the original instrument and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Further powers can be defined or limited in the "Special Instructions" area of the form. When would you need a Special Power of Attorney for the sale of real property? For example, a person might use this form to sell a second home in State of Oregon by delegating authority to another person to handle the transaction locally or parents might authorize a child to sell their home.

ORS 93.670

When so acknowledged or proved, such letter, instrument or contract, and the record thereof when recorded, or the certified transcript of such record, may be read in evidence in any court in this state without further proof of the same.

(2) No letter of attorney, or other instrument so recorded, is deemed to be revoked by any act of the party by whom it was executed unless the instrument containing such revocation is also recorded in the same office in which the instrument containing the power was recorded.

The form itself was very good and easy to use. The only problem I had was the Sample they provided. Using a different name in every spot doesnt help determine what goes where. Using "Theodore Rockafeller" as Lien Claimant in one spot and Jebediah Finklestein in another then Harvey Johnson in the last spot is confusing if you really need a helpful sample.

Once I was able to get my scanner working and provide good quality scans, the turnaround was quick and my documents were recorded and returned to me the same day with the Recorder's Stamp for download. Deeds.com staff was able to guide me to make sure my package was complete. Thank you!
