A Maryland real estate power of attorney is a document that a person (known as the principal) can use to appoint another person (known as an agent) to make decisions related to property. This document will also allow the Principal to name an alternate Agent in the event the initial agent becomes unwilling or unable to serve.
As the Principal completes the document, the signatures must be witnessed by a Notary Public. All fields must be completed. This document may be revoked at any time.
