A Utah Real Estate Power of Attorney Form is a legal document that the titleholder of real property must complete when designating an agent who will carry out the principal directives for their real property. This form will provide written permission for the agent to act on the property owner’s behalf regarding his or her real property only. This limits the scope of authority the agent may wield on behalf of the property owner so that he or she will only be able to act in this matter. This type of appointment will allow for financial transactions but only if they directly pertain to the concerned property and only if the principal approves the use of this authority by the agent.
The form must be signed before a notary public. The principal retains the right to revoke this form by serving the agent with written notice at any time.
