This process will help you determine if the documents are legitimate so as you can proceed with the talks.

Power of Attorney:

Power of attorney is a document that empowers a person to take charge on behalf of the buyer/seller. This document is prepared by the agent offering the documentation services. If a person isn’t available or is not well to engage in property matters, he can simply appoint a person on his behalf to execute the dealings.

Power of attorney usually revolves around two types;

• General Power of Attorney- this allows the appointed person to have control over multiple matters, being directed by the principal
• Special Power of Attorney- this restricts the appointed person to look over the single matter

Any adult who is competent enough to take charge on behalf of the principal is eligible for the job.

Tax Net Arbitration:

Arbitration would be when two principal parties cannot agree on terms and they allow a third party (aka arbitrator) to negotiate for them on common grounds. Tax net arbitration is usually done over property matters to resolve tax disputes on the property. Documentation services prove to be a helping hand in such resolving issues by providing a befitting and competent arbitrator. Tax net arbitration is quite helpful in sealing the deals where principals cannot afford to lose a deal.
