In the fast-paced Pennsylvania commercial market, a Power of Attorney (POA) is essential for brokers managing portfolios across different counties. Whether you are executing a Letter of Intent (LOI), negotiating Triple Net (NNN) lease terms, or addressing Common Area Maintenance (CAM) disputes, this document provides the legal empowerment needed for an agent to act on your behalf. Our template ensures compliance with Pennsylvania's specific real estate landscape, including 33 Pa.C.S. § 6 (Statute of Frauds) requirements for leases exceeding three years and UCC 13 Pa.C.S. § 2201 standards, mitigating risks of misrepresentation claims and commission disputes.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Commercial Real Estate Broker:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Misrepresentation claims
Detailed disclaimers in contracts stating that all representations are believed to be accurate but should be independently verified by clients.
Commission disputes
Clear agency agreements and commission schedules included in contracts outlining the fees and when they are earned.
Lease liability issues
Including precise language in leases regarding responsibilities for maintenance, repairs, and liabilities to avoid disputes.
For this power of attorney to be legally valid:

In Pennsylvania, commission schedules must be clearly defined to avoid disputes. Under the Wage Payment and Collection Law (43 P.S. § 260.1 et seq.), earned commissions are protected, but the POA must explicitly grant the agent authority to sign agency agreements or settlement statements (RESPA) to ensure the trigger points for these payments are legally binding.
Yes. To be enforceable and recordable for real estate transactions in Pennsylvania, the document must be signed by the principal, witnessed, and notarized. This is critical for transactions involving Cap Rate adjustments or Tenant Improvement (TI) allowances where third-party lenders require verified authority under TILA/RESPA guidelines.
Yes, provided the 'Powers Granted' clause specifically includes the authority to execute lease agreements. Because Pennsylvania’s Statute of Frauds (33 Pa.C.S. § 6) requires leases longer than three years to be in writing, a POA is the standard way to ensure your agent can legally bind the principal to those long-term liabilities and CAM obligations.
No. Pennsylvania is a separate property state. This means the POA specifically manages the principal's identified commercial assets and interests without the automatic joinder of a spouse, which simplifies the execution of commercial deeds and UCC-1 filings for equipment or fixtures.
