KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Principal hereby declares and grants this Power of Attorney as follows:
The Principal hereby appoints [agent_name] as the Principal's Attorney-in-Fact (the "Agent").

The Agent shall exercise such powers in a fiduciary capacity, in good faith, and in the best interests of the Principal at all times.

In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions. The Agent may employ and compensate, at the Principal's expense, such professionals, advisors, accountants, and attorneys as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of the Agent's duties hereunder.
This Power of Attorney shall become effective as of 2026-04-19, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.

Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns.

In the fast-paced Arizona market, timely execution of property acquisitions and management is critical. Whether you are navigating a 1031 exchange, managing cap rates, or dealing with local zoning boards, being physically present for every closing or lease signing isn't always possible. Providing an agent with specific authority through a specialized Power of Attorney allows you to maintain momentum while ensuring compliance with Arizona's specific Community Property Laws and the Statute of Frauds (Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 44-101). Our document provides the necessary structure to mitigate risks like market volatility and property defects while ensuring your agent has the clear authority required by Arizona title companies and the Registrar of Contractors.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Real Estate Investor:
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.
Tenant liability
Mitigated through comprehensive lease agreements that clearly outline tenant responsibilities, liabilities, and landlord’s rights.
Zoning violations
Ensured compliance by conducting thorough land use research and consulting with legal professionals for zoning compliance prior to property acquisition.
Arizona is a community property state. If you are married, your spouse generally has an interest in property acquired during the marriage. When granting a Power of Attorney to manage or sell such assets, it is critical that the document clearly identifies the principal's authority and, in many cases, requires spousal consent or a separate POA to satisfy local title companies and prevent disputes over legal ownership.
Yes. Under the Powers Granted clause, you can authorize your agent to communicate with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors and manage service providers. This is vital for maintaining compliance with Arizona's strict contractor licensing requirements. The document should explicitly include these powers to ensure your agent can effectively mitigate liabilities related to property defects and maintenance.
Absolutely. Because any agreement for the sale of real property or a lease exceeding one year must be in writing to be enforceable under Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 44-101, your Power of Attorney must be properly executed, signed, and notarized to grant an agent the power to sign those written instruments on your behalf.
By including a Durational Provision and ensuring the document is 'Durable,' your agent retains the authority to act even if you become incapacitated. This prevents deal-breaking delays in financing, LTV negotiations, or closing on properties that could otherwise lead to lost earnest money or breach of contract.
