A Louisiana real estate power of attorney is a document that real estate attorneys often use to complete for the purpose of serving a principal in real estate transactions. The form is also often used by a principal to appoint an agent, an individual, an attorney, or a real estate professional, among others, to manage or transact real estate business on behalf of a principal.
