Is this good enough of a power of attorney for my situation?

Hi everyone,

My wife is going to be gone for about a month visiting family overseas. However, we have a short sale purchase in the works (the appraisal has already gone through) and it's possible that the bank/investor will approve the short sale when she's still over there. I may have to sign mortgage and legal documents while she's there.

I found a power of attorney document for real estate on this site here:

Is that ok to use? I only have to go to a notary public and have them be a witness and notarize/sign the document, right? Thanks

i suggest you contact the bank and/or title company for clarification. i know that here in fl, many banks will only honor what is called a 'durable poa'. better safe than sorry!
