A Rhode Island real estate power of attorney form enables a person to delegate their powers over a property to an agent. This paperwork can only be executed by the Principal who owns the real estate property being discussed. He or she will use this document to provide written permission for a trusted individual, attorney, or real estate agent to manage, refinance, sell, or oversee any transactions concerning the principal’s real estate or a portion of the property.
This document must be notarized after it’s completed and may be revoked in writing by the principal at any time.
