A Pennsylvania real estate power of attorney is a document that designates an Agent to exercise powers to handle the Principal’s real estate. The Principal may use this document to limit the powers of the Agent in the event of incapacitation or disability. The Agent must use these powers properly, honoring the wishes of the Principal.
On completion, this document must be notarized and witnessed by two individuals. The Principal may, at any time, revoke this document by serving notice to the Agent in writing.
