He can’t be at the closing because of his new job, so it looks like our only option is for me to be his temporary or "limited" power of attorney for real estate. It has to be legal in the state of Kentucky. How much does this cost and how do we go about doing this?
Usually he just needs to fill out and sign a form making you his attorney for the transaction, and have it notarized, which isn’t likely to cost more than $5.
This is a very common situation. Call up the real estate agent, tell him or her that you’ll need a P of A, so you’ll need the form. Unless it’s a really lousy agent, you’ll have it the next day. Also ask who’s a convenient notary if you don’t know one; probably your agent or someone in the office can do it.
