Does it make a difference what county within the state you have a power of attorney filed?

Question

The power of attorney is signed and notized by all parties before it was filed. Am I right in thinking that the power of attorney is a state law and not a county law. Also, it should be able to be used in any state of the United States.

Answer 1

It is essential that a power of attorney be filed in the land records of the county where you are selling real estate. If you are not dealing with buying and selling real estate, it is probably not necessary to have a power of attorney filed of record.

If you have a power of attorney recorded in one county, you can have a certified copy of the power of attorney honored in any other county.

Note that some people or corporations may require an affidavit from the agent [person acting as power of attorney] stating that the power of attorney is still in full force and effect, has not been revoked, and that the principal [the person who gave the power of attorney] is still alive.

A certified copy of a power of attorney from a given state should be honored in any other state of the United States.

Answer 2

Power of attorneys would be valid throughout the state if they were executed properly. They are not specific to each county. Each state may have its own requirements. Thus, the power of attorney may not be valid in differing states.

Answer 3

I believe you are correct. Also was it a general or specif power of attorney. As an example my husband did a general many years ago in ElPaso texas, and it was valid in Austin. So yes good statewide not sure about nationwide though.
