- Date:
- State: California
Answer:
In California, you do not need to record a power of attorney unless it is related to a real estate transaction. If the power of attorney will be used to sign documents affecting real property—like a deed, mortgage, or deed of trust—it should be recorded in the land records of the county where the property is located.
