It is common for a property owner to elect someone to handle a real estate closing on their behalf. A real estate transaction can usually take up to 3 to 4 hours and allot of the forms being signed are difficult to understand for the average person. Therefore, it is a good idea to hire a qualified real estate attorney to step in and act for you on this occasion to help protect any legal liabilities.
Due to the high level of authority needed when performing a real estate transaction, it is best to have this form signed in front of a notary public to help ensure it will be valid for use at the closing.
