Q: If I am the power of attorney for my sister and I want to sign a right of way over my sister's property as her POA.
Do I need to have the POA recorded before I can sign the ROW? If so, where?
A: You should check with the Recorder of Deeds with the county where the deed is to be filed. They may want the original Power of Attorney recorded (probable) or they may have you make a photocopy and attach it to an original affidavit attesting that the attached is a true and correct copy, and the affidavit with the copy would then be filed.
