A Power of Attorney document is created and signed by a grantor to allow one person to conduct business on behalf of another.
Typically, a Power of Attorney document must specify the type(s) of business that can be conducted on behalf of the person granting the Power of Attorney (or grant permission for ‘all types of personal business’).
So intent matters.
The content within the Power of Attorney document is critical to what actions are permitted by the ‘attorney-in-fact’.
Should a Power of Attorney document permit the sale or transfer of real estate on behalf of the grantor, then the attorney-in-fact may indeed handle such a matter. And if the attorney-in-fact wishes to do so, a Quitclaim Deed would be used to make such a title transfer.
Complete details for the process of each can be found on the pages for Standard Legal’s Power of Attorney legal forms software and Quitclaim Deeds legal forms software.
