That is a practice not seen in Maine. We see a lot of transaction specific powers of attorney and here in Maine the notices to the grantee and grantor have specific notices that have to match, specific to the time period it was signed, in order to be binding. One a Power off Attorney is recorded in a Registry, a copy would be considered certified because it was a recorded public document. In todays title world deeds and mortgages signed by powers of attorney will almost always have the power of attorney recorded prior to the instrument signed by a POA. |
