California Real Estate Power of Attorney Form

Must be signed in the presence of a notary public.^[2] While two witnesses can also suffice, notarization is required if the document is to be recorded, which is typically necessary in actions involving real estate.^[3]

The document should be recorded with the county registrar or recorder in the jurisdiction in which the property is located. While California law does not explicitly require this, the power of attorney must be on record before other real estate documents can be filed with the agent’s signature.
