A Florida real estate power of attorney is a legal document that grants an agent the authority to manage specific real estate affairs, including buying, selling, leasing, or managing the principal’s property. State law requires the document to be signed by the principal in the presence of two witnesses and a notary public to be considered valid. A signed and notarized copy must be provided to the agent to validate their authority in acting on the principal’s behalf.
The document can be revoked at any time by written notice served to the agent or by replacing it with a new document, which nullifies the current one instantly.
