Power of Attorney real estate

A California General Durable Power of Attorney is a check the box form. If your dad only initials Item A, you will not have power over anything other than the real property. You can limit item A itself by filling out the Special Instructions and stating which parts of A will not be part of the powers granted to the agent.

The response given is not intended to create, nor does it create an ongoing duty to respond to questions. The response does not form an attorney-client relationship, nor is it intended to be anything other than the educated opinion of the author. It should not be relied upon as legal advice. The response given is based upon the limited facts provided by the person asking the question. To the extent additional or different facts exist, the response might possibly change.

A power of attorney grants broad powers to a person to act on another's behalf. For his protection, your father should consult with a lawyer before granting a power of attorney.
