How to complete it
Sign the Notice page (Page 1) Required on every Pennsylvania power of attorney.
Fill in the recording box At the top of Page 1: who prepared it, where to return it after recording, and the parcel (UPI) number.
Describe the property (Part 2) Copy the legal description from your deed. Title companies compare it word for word.
Check the authority needed (Part 3) Grant only what the transaction requires.
Sign before a notary and two witnesses Do not sign ahead of time. Bring a current government photo ID.
Agent signs the Acknowledgment Your agent must sign before acting. Many title companies want to see it before closing.
In Pennsylvania, an agent has no authority to act under a power of attorney until the agent signs this acknowledgment and attaches it to the power of attorney. Use this form when an agent or successor agent did not sign one when the power of attorney was made.
Banks, title companies and brokerages may ask an agent to swear that a power of attorney is still in effect before they rely on it. Pennsylvania law lets them request this affidavit and certification, and protects them when they rely on it.
This form lets you name someone (your “agent”) to handle your financial and legal affairs, such as banking, real estate, taxes and benefits. It stays in effect if you become incapacitated. It does not cover medical decisions; for those, use a Pennsylvania Health Care Power of Attorney.
Use this form to let someone handle one specific matter for you, such as signing at a closing, selling a vehicle, or managing one bank account. Your agent can act only for the purpose you describe.
Parents use this form to let a grandparent, relative or trusted adult care for their child while the parents are away, such as consenting to medical care, handling school matters, or traveling with the child. It does not change custody.
An agent who no longer wishes or is able to serve can use this form to resign in writing. A written, notarized resignation helps the successor agent take over and tells banks the prior agent no longer has authority.
Use this form to cancel a financial power of attorney you signed earlier. It is formatted so it can be recorded if the original power of attorney was recorded with the Recorder of Deeds.
