A Michigan real estate power of attorney is a legal document that permits someone to handle real estate matters on behalf of another person (known as the principal). This document shall provide the authority this agent needs to execute all its defined duties. It should be kept in mind this delegation will only be relevant to real property. This document will require the services and acknowledgment of a notary public or, in some instances, only two witnesses.

2 – Produce The Requested Information To Opening Designation Statement
This document will open with a basic statement where the Principal delegates his or her Authority regarding Real Property to an Agent. While the language for this task is standardized it will need some information reported by the user so it may be applied properly to the situation at hand. Begin by recording the Principal’s Full Name on the first blank line in the statement beginning with the phrase “Know All Men By These Presents, That I…” then, follow the Principal’s Name by presenting the name of the Michigan City or County where he or she resides on the second blank space. 
Next, we will have to identify who the Principal is appointing with his or her Authority. Record the Full Name of this Agent on the blank space following the words “…Constitute And Appoint” then on the last blank space in this statement, fill in the Agent’s Address. 
Finally, locate the terminology “More Commonly Known As” then record the Real Property the Principal is authorizing the Agent to wield Principal Power over in his or her Name. This should be the concerned Property’s Physical Address and, if available, Legal Description. If more room is required, you may either use an appropriate program to add more space to accommodate the information being reported or cite an attachment with this information if you are working with a hard copy.

Once this information has been set to the document, the Principal and the Agent will both have to sign this delegation form before a Notary Public.

The first two blank lines under the words “Signed In The Presence Of” are reserved for the two Witnesses observing this signing. Each one must sign his or her Name on one of these lines after viewing the Signing. 
The Principal must sign his or her Name on the blank space labeled “Grantor” then release this document to the Agent.
