I have a really important question regarding how long a power of attorney actually lasts!
Basically, I signed a lease agreement through a notary public for an indefinite period using a proxy. Now, that same proxy is trying to force me out of the apartment! I’m wondering—can they actually do that without the owner's consent? There isn't any mention of an expiration date in the document itself.
The power of attorney says this:
Owner details...etc.
Power of Attorney
whereby I authorize the proxy, unknown, to represent me and act on my behalf and account for all necessary actions regarding the rental of the apartment I own, located at unknown
(For that first section, the notary public told me it’s only valid for one year)
The second part reads:
The proxy is authorized in this process to take all necessary actions to protect my rights and interests, sign all required documents, and represent me before the Department of Homeland Security, a notary public, the IRS, as well as being authorized to enter into contracts (leases, rentals) and contract amendments, handle the collection and payment of costs, manage registrations and cancellations, and represent me before all relevant authorities, legal entities, and individuals regarding the aforementioned rental.
The power of attorney was signed back in 2013.
