Free Oregon Real Estate Power of Attorney Form Template

An Oregon real estate power of attorney form appoints an agent to convey land for you. Chapter 127 of the Oregon Revised Statutes covers powers of attorney generally, and ORS 93.670 covers recording a power to convey land.

Two chapters apply when the power covers land.

In Writing

Under ORS 127.005, a power of attorney designates an agent in writing and becomes effective when executed, unless its terms delay or limit its effectiveness.

Acknowledged for Recording

ORS 93.670 says an instrument containing a power to convey lands may be recorded when acknowledged or proved in the manner prescribed for conveyances.

Recorded Where the Land Is

It may be recorded in the county clerk’s office of any county where the land it relates to is located.

Revoking a Recorded Power

Once recorded, the power isn’t deemed revoked by the principal’s act unless the revocation is also recorded in the same office.

To be recorded, yes. ORS 93.670 lets a power to convey lands be recorded once it is acknowledged or proved in the manner prescribed for conveyances.

Recording also affects revocation. A recorded power stays in effect until the revocation is recorded in the same county clerk’s office.

Tip: Acknowledge your Oregon real estate power of attorney form before a notary when you sign it, so it can be recorded with the county clerk.
