A Maryland real estate power of attorney grants a representative the power to act on behalf of someone else in real estate transactions. Property owners often use this document when they’re away and need a trusted person to handle certain real estate assignments during their absence. The POA can authorize actions such as signing contracts, evicting tenants, and selling property.

Powers of attorney must be notarized and signed by at least two adult witnesses. Both witnesses must sign in the presence of each other and the principal. The notary can serve as one of the witnesses.[1]
Any power of attorney granting the right to sell property on the principal’s behalf must be recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court.[2]
