A Massachusetts real estate power of attorney form is a document used by a principal to select an agent to work on their behalf in matters related to the sale, closing, refinancing, and/or management of the principal’s real estate.
In order for this paperwork to be taken seriously, its executing signature must be adequately substantiated. Thus, two witnesses and a notary public will be required to be present so they may witness the principal act of signing. The witnesses will be the final party to sign this document before it is notarized. This form may be revoked by written notification to the agent.
